This week, Australian theatre legend Queenie van de Zandt joins us for a candid & entertaining conversation about a career that has spanned more than three decades across stage & screen.
From acclaimed performances in The Newsreader, Next to Normal & a glorious run of shows at Ensemble Theatre, Queenie has become one of Australia's most respected & versatile creative voices.
We discuss her remarkable journey through the arts, the challenges & triumphs of sustaining a creative career, her unforgettable alter ego Jan van de Stool & why storytelling remains at the heart of everything she does.
We also dive into her highly anticipated new show, Middle Raged – A Musical Meltdown, which tackles midlife, menopause, identity & the chaos of getting older with Queenie's trademark blend of humour, honesty & powerhouse vocals.
