On a Do It Again But Better first, Jess hosts two actors at once as Libby Brockman and Juliet Hindmarsh drop by for a chat. As well as acting, Libby is a producer, writer, youth worker and drama teacher, while Juliet is a self tape studio owner, drag king, and production manager. Between this vast array of creative roles, the three women discuss Libby and Juliet's upcoming show, Roaring Immersive Theatre, Juliet's ever-elusive role of playing an ant, Libby's unfortunate fainting moment, and some surprising connections that nobody saw coming.

Roaring Immersive Theatre plays at the Vue Grand Hotel in Queenscliff from June 26th—July 13th, 2024.

Libby trained at The National Theatre Drama School (Melbourne) as well as various intensives in Melbourne, London, Sicily and Catalonia. Whilst living most of her life in Melbourne, she has now moved to Geelong, and is loving it! She has a Bachelor of Youth Work & Youth Studies (RMIT) and utilises this in her role as Assistant Director & drama teacher at Grace Acting Studios.

She is constantly looking for new and innovative ways to make engaging film & theatre that represents diversity and explores challenging stories. She loves immersive and intimate theatre, as well as working on quirky, independent short films & web series. Highlights include Mr Naismith’s Secret (TBC), Scarborough (The Honeytrap Theatre) and Never Ending Night (London & Melbourne).

She has also had the pleasure of touring Shakespeare and kids shows around Australia with The Flying Bookworm and Essential Theatre.

Juliet has performed in pits of mud, covered in blood, large bodies of water and on Torquay clifftops, has jumped off diving boards, from cliffs to crash mats, and repeatedly asked to play the object of queer attractions. It’s a tough life, but someone’s gotta do it. Juliet is most passionate about adventurous projects, and, as gender non-conforming actor, stories centring female and LGBTQIA+ characters.

She’s worked extensively in stage, screen, and TVC productions over 15 years and is known for her lead role as the rebellious and chaos loving, Northern Irish ex-con, Fianna, in the stage-play ‘CROCODILE FEVER’ by Meghan Tylor, lead in the multi-award winning, queer-focussed short film, 'Plunge' by Kate Lefoe, and the brave but disappointing Prince Doogle in muddy adaptation of 'Ubu Roi' with 5 Pound Theatre. She’s also known by her dashing Drag King alter-ego Romeo-Romeo from the award winning Drag King duo, BROMEO.
