Interview - Lisa Chappell

Actor Lisa Chappell is well remembered for her role as Clare McCloud in the hit TV drama series McCloud's Daughters. This month, Lisa is bringing her smash hit play FRED to the Basement Theatre where she will play multiple characters in this self-penned black comedy about survival and ʻJust Dessertsʼ. In this interview, Lisa Chappell tells Andrew Whiteside all about her fears for her new show FRED, and how much she misses her alter ego Claire McLeod. A description of a scene from FRED: Deidre lives on her own: struggling to pay her bills, bullied by her students and mourning the death of her cat. But when two handsome salesmen knock on her door with a hidden agenda and a taste for the macabre, Deidreʼs problems have just begun.
