It's just about your performance and you're the focus.

There's nothing else going on apart from the performance.

Well, it's a really interesting thing too because with the great, sometimes you can tutu too much with it.

You know what I mean?

It's so simple.

It's great for a reason.

There's a real propensity too when you look at things like Shakespeare and so forth to really change it up and make it a bit wacky and crazy and stuff.

But you don't need to because the work sort of speaks for itself.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, we did.

But also, I actually did Hamlet years and years ago at the Maidment Theatre, and I had a mind blank, so I started improvising Shakespeare.

I call it the white noise.

Franz Ferdinand there on the Radio Hauraki Big Show this stormy Tuesday evening.

We've got actor Beul Akwali in with us, who's the star of the play A View From The Bridge.

Well, we've got a real-life actor in the room with us to do a improvisation.

What do we reckon?

Quiet on set.

Sound spray.
