Tāmaki Makaurau actor Yvette Parsons is currently preparing for stage roles as both a snail and a performance art-making goth.
A talented and popular performer, musician and playwright, Parsons more commonly plays unusual but inspiring women, challenging stereotypes. They’re there, in the background holding things together. Recently that’s included Educators school receptionist Sheree and Shortland Street’s Minerva. Film roles include Nude Tuesday and Power of the Dog and she has featured in televisions’ Brokenwood Mysteries, Outrageous Fortune and, as a high priestess, in Wellington Paranormal.
The Snail appears in Nightsong children’s show The Worm in April, while Parsons as cocreator is ‘Mizery Gutz’ in Goth 2 Aflame, part of the New Zealand International Comedy Festival.
