Superstar Morgana O'Reilly

Send us Fan MailIt's another Showy Ovaries Live and this time from New Plymouth's beautiful Pukekura Park for WOMAD Aotearoa. Penny was delighted to chat to one of New Zealand's most prolific and talented actresses Morgana O'Reilly, fresh from her stint as "health butler" and cellphone thief in the global smash hit, The White Lotus. Penny and Morgana discussed life on set, taming imposter syndrome, agonising over which accent to use, attending the glitzy LA premiere and how to use a blender for comedic effects. They also touched on her painful diary entries as a teenager, not wanting to be seen in togs at school, how to reframe narratives around bodies for her childen and for ourselves, and just how does it feel to get your toes sucked for cash. Morgana's IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2837410/?ref_=ext_shr_lnkStories About My Body: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33088099/Penny's ShowsMarch 27 - 28 Q Theatre https://www.qtheatre.co.nz/shows/austen-found April 4th Stratford https://www.eventbrite.co.nz/e/olive-copperbottom-a-dickensian-tale-of-love-gin-and-the-pox-tickets-1243841095199May 16 - 18 https://www.iticket.co.nz/events/2025/may/the-tempestuousSupport the show
