Querida Becky, soy yo, tu mama muerta

Followers of Rose Matafeo's excellent Starstruck sitcom would do well to consider the work of her onscreen and formerly IRL flatmate, actor-comedian Emma Sidi. In particular, her brilliant 2020 short film La Princesa De Woking, a note-perfect homage to Mexican telenovelas set in glamorous northwest Surrey. Sidi stars as the much-put-upon and never-knowingly-out-acted Becky Hello, who has just tragically lost her mother in a freak chandelier accident: 


Elsewhere, you might find her in 2017 exercising some Spanish melodrama in Melbourne, or illustrating her formidable contemporary dance skills in 2015. And perhaps in the 'sketch project with Rose' she mentions in her February interview above, that might emerge some day soon.
