1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Jonesy and Demanda podcast. 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 2: Our next guest has battled monsters, he's ruled kingdoms, he's 3 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 2: solved crimes, and somehow he survived the Moulin Rouge. Of 4 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,039 Speaker 2: all of that, I think some of my favorite moments 5 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 2: of Richard Roxborough have been in the series Rake. But 6 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 2: also he's back on stage in a new play called Art, 7 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 2: and he joins us now Richard hi. 8 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: Here to tread the boards? 9 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:23,639 Speaker 3: Hello, folk? 10 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,240 Speaker 2: Is this a show about art? Garfuncle? I'm really hoping 11 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 2: it is. 12 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 3: Oh that a big fun I mean the wig alone 13 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 3: would be. 14 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 1: Its own trailer. 15 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 3: It's not about art, Garfuncles, And in fact, it's not 16 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 3: even really about art, but it is about It's about 17 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 3: three friends, three male friends, and one of them idiotically 18 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 3: buys a ridiculously expensive white painting. And I can tell 19 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 3: you that it's not a plot spoiler because you learn 20 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 3: it in the first few seconds of the play. So 21 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 3: it's kind of about that, but it's more like what 22 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 3: happens to a friendship when somebody does something like that, 23 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 3: or in fact, when somebody changes. And it is the 24 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,199 Speaker 3: funniest play I've ever done in my life. 25 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 2: Oh good, and with the prop being a big white painting, 26 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,559 Speaker 2: did I let you near it? With the red wine 27 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 2: a mishap? 28 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,199 Speaker 3: There are a lot of very strict rules about what's 29 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 3: allowed on that stage before and after the show, so 30 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 3: not so far. 31 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: No, So you keep pro hard away with there the 32 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: other candle legos. 33 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 3: You do, but something does happen to the painting during 34 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 3: the play, and that's all I can tell you. 35 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: This is great. 36 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, to see you on the boards.

But still that's things. Still, that's still 45 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: that mission obviously isn't impossible. It's a very achievable mission. 46 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 3: Exactly as I said earlier. 47 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 2: Some of my favorite scenes of all the work you've done, 48 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 2: I've just loved the series.
