EH: I think part of the fun in creating it is in seeing how you would interpret these traditions…. There are so many people involved too, and we do work with professionals. There’s so many hands going in, and voices…. It ends up being a sort of baby reared by a village.

THC: How did you come up with idea for the script?

BM: You think of a setting first, [and] we settled on Victorian England. We had this running joke that in past Pudding shows there’s one character who’s a prostitute or something of that ilk, and they always come to the front of the stage and say their joke about their craft and then walk back to the back of the stage, and we thought, what if we had twelve characters like that, and we set it in a brothel, and called it “O Brothel, Where Art Thou,” and that’s one of titles of the songs…. From there we just thought, in Victorian England who would be there?…. I don’t know how we came up with the plot…but the idea of these weird characters sort of led [to it]. Like we [thought of] a professor [named] Hannibal Lecture and we thought we should probably have someone get murdered.

THC: What is your favorite moment for your character?

EH: I play Sharon Secrets, who is a missionary who returns to England to find her brother so that she can claim her half of the inheritance because she’s decided to leave the church in pursuit of, romance, we’ll say. I’ve had an absolute blast playing her. My favorite moments in general with her are interacting with my brother in the show, who’s named Baron Wasteland. Obviously in our family, the family line is made by the rhyming first name and not the same last name. It’s a lot of fun simulating this brother-sister conflict.

DM: They get really close together and just breathe on each other

EH: There are so many intangible things that I end up loving in the show. It’s a cast of 12, and it’s a pretty ensemble cast. We don’t have a chorus, so everyone is a main character, and there’s little things that everyone does that I think are so funny. And when we’re all on stage together, it’s amazing that we can keep it together, and sometimes we can’t because someone will say a line differently or look at someone a different way…. There’s nothing I don’t like.
