played
by
PERRI CUMMINGS
If there is anything
eccentric, off-kilter or down right embarrassing, Perri will
be called upon to play it! She has been completely insane in
Angel Baby, a walking, talking apple is Law Of The
Land (her most embarrassing adventure to date), a dancing
pudding for the Brunswick Music Festival, a boy - impoverished
of the medieval variety for Gorgeous Productions' Patience,
a Man - impoverished of the Train Spotting variety for Daniel
Shlussers' The Visit and a chimpanzee in an adaptation
of Kaffkas' Report To The Academy. In Lovepuke,
she plays Hermione (of course), the performance poet with a fondness
for bodily functions - hence the name Lovepuke!!

many things, but primarily answers to "actor". She
has tended the sick in Flying Doctors, modeled on Bingles,

Steve Vizard on Tonight Live - after which, she left the
country. She studied at The Actor's Institute, London, going

and the films A Little Rain Must Fall and Just Move
Your Lips, amongst other things. Her credits also include
the 1999 Australian premier of I Love You, You're Perfect,
Now Change. Her biggest claim to fame is knowing someone
who snogged Russell Crowe ... but that's another story.
