Zack Siezmagraff is playing Bob Jones!
Hi Zack, tell us about your character in The Realistic Joneses:
Bob is in his late 30s, coping with a rare neurological disorder and the effect it is having on his life, his marriage, and his relationship with his neighbours.
What is your background in theatre?
This is my 4th show at the Walterdale. Previous Walterdale credits: A Day in Hollywood/A Night in the Ukraine, Anything Goes!, and Boeing-Boeing. I have also appeared with East of Sixty, Foote in the Door, Blackout Sketch Comedy, ELOPE, Two One Way Tickets to Broadway, and the Citadel Theatre.
What brought you out for The Realistic Joneses?
I normally like to do comedy or farce; I was drawn to this show by the writing of Will Eno, who is both absurd and incredibly realistic at the same time. Playing Bob has been a rewarding and challenging experience.
What are you enjoying the most about working on this show so far?
This play has so many textual levels. The more we dive into it together, the more I appreciate how great this show is.
Why do you think people should come see The Realistic Joneses at the Walterdale?
This is a play unlike any I’ve seen in a long time; the writing is relatable and done in a very innovative and refreshing way. Audiences will be both challenged and entertained.
Who’s your favourite Celebrity Jones and why?
Carolyn Jones! She was the TV Morticia Addams and also camped it up as Marsha, Queen of Diamonds on the 60s Batman.
