Adelaide Fringe Festival Focus: Hayward And Hadid: This Is An Excuse
"We wanted to make fun of ourselves and the world around us, taking a lot of inspiration from our lives and our friendship."
Answered by: Lauren Hayward and Francis Hadid
Describe your show in a tweet? A first date with your new comedy sweethearts. @HaywardandHadid debut #ThisIsAnExcuse — an ode to modern love & cultural cliches.
What was the inspiration behind your show? We wanted to make fun of ourselves and the world around us, taking a lot of inspiration from our lives and our friendship: love, laughable men, feminism, and race.
Tell us a bit about the creative team working on this project? We're both writer-performers who fell madly in comedy-love during an improv show and it's been Hayward and Hadid ever since. Our director, Cat Commander, is wildly talented and hugely busy, so having the chance to work with her is incredible.
