Charlie Murphy Interview
INTERVIEW – CHARLIE MURPHY
Source:
An actor’s life might not have been the most obvious choice for Wexford’s Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Murphy – her parents owned a hair salon, the wonderfully named Scissors Empire, and up to her late teenage years she and her siblings worked part-time in the family business, folding towels and sweeping up leftover locks. Destiny, however, selected thespian pursuits over tonsorial duties; it also helped that the Murphy family lived between two theatres – the Opera House and the Dun Mhuire. School visits to Wexford Opera Festival dress rehearsals were interspersed with partaking in fringe events that local theatre groups and Am-Dram societies would stage. So far, so familiar, but things were to change dramatically when Charlie the child morphed into Charlie the teenager. When she was 15, Charlie (it’s only ‘Charlotte’ to school teachers and the Passport Office) hooked up with local theatre group, Bare Cheek, and so began the excursion from provincial ambition to international achievement.
Bare Cheek, recalls Charlie, was aptly named – its artistic policy was (and continues) to present challenging work by contemporary playwrights. Before she could spin on a coin she was entangled in plays by the likes of British writers Steven Berkoff, Martin Crimp and Sarah Kane, and Irish writers Frank McGuinness and Enda Walsh.
“You’d be doing Calamity Jane and The Sound of Music just to get the buzz of it all,” she says over a coffee in the lounge area of an inordinately hip Dublin hotel. It’s a drizzly, dull Saturday morning, but Murphy is good company – alert, interested, focused. “The camaraderie, meeting people – it was such a joy as a teenager to be part of that.” Being introduced to serious playwrights, writers she had previously never been aware of was, she states, a defining, pivotal moment. “Geography made me fall upon theatre,” she reasons, “but Bare Cheek’s introduction to those writers made me realise that I wanted to be somewhere in that. We would be encouraged to create our own work, as well as doing the work of others. So that approach encouraged me to start writing, and gave me a fever to carry on doing it. We were given a blank canvas that was totally liberating and very expressive.
”Can she recall what it was she wanted to express? “Oh, God…” Seconds drift by in slow motion. “Some things that, you know…“ A few more seconds pass. Charlie’s hesitancy could stem from either complete forgetfulness or total recall (the former seems unlikely, the latter could be potentially awkward), but she skilfully bridges the two by defining the eternal emotional powder keg of the teenage mind. “You just go for it; your limbs go in every direction at once, don’t they?! You look back on your teenage self and accept the oddness of what you were thinking.
”What were her ambitions back then? She knew she had the acting bug, so what did she aim to do about it? “I more or less presumed that I wouldn’t make a living as an actor, but I didn’t dwell on that too long, I kind of accepted it. Maybe I thought that I could write? All I knew is that I wanted to be in the industry.”
