Home and Away: Georgie Parker's thrilling news

TV favourite Georgie Parker explains why her latest project is a very special one - by Jackie Brygel
  • 17 Jun 2019

She’s called Summer Bay her home away from home for almost a decade – and her legion of fans couldn’t be happier about it.

But while playing Alf’s (Ray Meagher) bubbly daughter Roo is as much of a delight as ever for the former All Saints and A Country Practice star, Home and Away star Georgie Parker is currently relishing the chance to head back to where it all began for her – the stage.

Until July 13, at Sydney’s acclaimed Ensemble Theatre, Australian star Georgie is treading the boards in the unique new comedy Murder on the Wireless. Written by Arthur Conan Doyle and Mark Kilmurry, the production is set in a 1950s English recording studio during the heyday of the radio play.

“It’s a great theatrical convention and so much fun, as it’s a play within a play,” says Georgie. “We’re behaving as though the audience is in the ’50s with us.

“The only thing my stage character has in common with my TV one is the actor who plays them,” she laughs, adding, “But that’s why you act. I’m just lucky that I get the chance to do it.”

Certainly Georgie’s involvement with the Ensemble – “I think I’ve now done about eight plays with them,” she says – holds special meaning for the award-winning actress. For Georgie began working at the theatre during high school as a volunteer usher.

“When I was 16, I did work experience there and loved it so much,” she says. “I found that even though I couldn’t really do acting at that time because I was still at school, I could learn a lot from watching these amazing actors – people like Helen Morse – do the same play over a long period of time.

“It was a perfect environment for me as a 16-year-old. I still look back on it and think, ‘I remember that time, and I still remember the lessons I learnt from watching these people I admire so much’.”

Meanwhile, Georgie - who plays Roo Stewart on the hit Channel Seven show - promises there’s also still much to come for Alf’s beloved daughter Roo this year.

“The main thing for me is that I love the people I’m working with and we can work a bit of magic into what we do,” she says, smiling. “It’s really such a joy.”
