Toi Whakaari graduates Emma Fenton and Phoebe Hurst combine forces to bring you Silke's Big Day Out and Kung Faux: Call of The Siren, two original solo shows, first conceived out of The Go Solo Season at Toi Whakaari in 2011.

“Silke's Big Day Out (Emma Fenton) is centred on a girl named Silke I met while in New York. She was still, dark, mysterious and I often found her very comedic. Basically... I wanted to be like her. So began my quest into finding my own character of Silke and show what would 'normally' be considered an ordinary day with perfect hair and oversized boots.”

Imagine if Borat was an incredibly deadpan Eastern European determined to have a Samantha from Sex and the City experience in New York and you've just about got it. Just about ... Silke is bizarre but brilliant. Her adventures and guide to getting a “hot boy” had everyone in stitches. – Phoebe Smith, Theatreview

“Kung Faux: Call of The Siren (Phoebe Hurst) was inspired by my Dad's love of Bruce Lee films and my love of Beastie Boys video clips and fake moustaches. What came out was Mike Fordstaff, the wannabe cop. This is my personal homage to all things hammy and wonderful. Underneath my three years of sensible actor training, lies a true ham at heart.”

“…Hurst is utterly confident and comfortable with her piece, her characters and the audience and is a comic genius! …This is genuine laugh-out-loud and keep-getting-louder material. I look forward to seeing lots more in the future.” – Helen Sims, Theatreview
