Seven days in the life of the live theatre actress.
Friday night drinks? Meet me at:
The Gypsy Tea Room in Grey Lynn. The best local you could have.
Where I'll be wearing my new:
Stupidly giant bag in which I can never find anything. I routinely stand outside my house for 10 minutes looking for my keys.
And this weekend I'm planning on:
Rehearsing with a penguin.
But first I'll need to refuel at my favourite cafe:
Shaky Isles in Kingsland. Love the burger bar set-up.
Saturday evening. If my dreams came true there would be a gig by:
Kings of Convenience. Or any band the Norse legend Erlend Oye is in.
On my stereo/headphones right now is:
Fleet Foxes, Passion Pit and the Temper Trap in the alliterative-band-name category, Mumford & Sons, the National and Lawrence Arabia in the non-alliterative-band-name category.
The books I can't put down are:
Night Letters by Robert Dessaix, Amsterdam by Ian McEwan, and The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton.
The TV show I take the phone off the hook for is:
Well, it's not on TV now of course but I'm currently happily joining the ranks of latecomers to The Wire. Marry me McNulty. I can cope with your rampant alcoholism.
The movie I've been dying to see is:
Four Lions which is showing in the film festival.
A non-cooking Monday night means takeaways from:
Renkon. $10 tendon.
Or a splash-out Wednesday night restaurant would be:
Delicious. Yeah, keeping it West Lynn.
* Kate Prior is performing in HEAT, a play that echoes the restrictions of life in the Antarctic, showing from July 12-17 at the Herald Theatre, Aotea Centre.
