What made/makes you happy for the year 2015?
My 9 month old daughter
How was it working on the play ‘Fruitcake’?
Wonderfully challenging.
Do you feel social Issues could be addressed using theatre?
Absolutely. Without a doubt.
Any new projects for this year?
Maybe.. maybe not. Kind of enjoying finishing the big projects for the year. Maybe my daughter’s first birthday.
How is to be a new daddy?
Wonderful but scary as hell.
What inspires you every day?
Music, my muses, some people and intense moments.
What profession have you always admired?
Acting, teaching and working with children.
Do you have a place where you would like to go and think? If so, where?
The beach or a starry night - anywhere really. I can easily get lost with myself.
How was school life for you?
Come to think of it, it was really not that bad. But being a kid was tough.
What are your thoughts on Sri Lankan politics?
I have hope now. It feels fresh. But just like some politicians are to be blamed for a lot of bad things, people are too. We don’t care enough to change but love to complain about everything.
IF
If you were directing a movie, who would you cast as your leading man and woman from the Sri Lankan theatre scene?
Depends on the type of movie. Got to be specific. But Subha Wijesiriwardena and Tehani Chitty would be in it without a doubt.

FRIENDS

Two nice dog pads for my two loves, Lucy & puppy
If you could dis-invent one thing, what would it be?
ORGANIZED RELIGION

No clue man.
In the SPOT
Rosy Senanayake requesting for re-count, your thoughts?
She would have been great in parliament. So YES!
P.M of Sri Lanka?
Not an arrogant, power hungry, racist dictator.
What do you feel about English theatre in Sri Lanka?
It’s definitely going places.
Indu / Jerome / Feroze - Whose work do you like to follow as an audience?
This is very nasty of me to say but I’m not a fan of any of their work. But Jerome’s shows are beautifully lit so I’d pick him.
For Fun
What is the nicest thing someone else has done for you?
Man.. I really cannot say. So many things and so many lovely people. You know who you are.
What is your favourite potato chip flavour?
Err.. this must be the strangest question. Normal flavour I guess.
What would you refuse to do for one million dollars?
Join the advertising industry.
What historical figure would you most like to have a discussion with?
Christopher McCandless, Laika
