Interview - Stuart Bowden - April 2016
By Megan Blackwell
Stuart Bowden is an Australian theatre maker. He creates and performs his own solo theatre shows and also works professionally as a writer and director. His work has received multiple awards and nominations in Australia and the UK. He’s bringing his show She Was Probably Not a Robot to New Zealand’s International Comedy Festival this year, 26-30 April at the Herald Theatre in Auckland. I had a great wee cyber sit down with him. After the initial polite faceless hellos, Skype kicked in and we got right down to it.
