Natasha Mumba makes her Tarragon debut in The Millennial Malcontent, a raucous exploration of social posing, sexual frankness and emotional minefields. This brand new play from Governor General’s Award-winning playwright Erin Shields is a fierce meditation on the millennial generation, loosely adapted from The Provoked Wife by Sir John Vanbrugh.

We caught up with her this week.

What should we be paying more attention to?

I really don’t know, their seems to be A LOT happening in the world right now and currently it seems like people are looking more for distractions than anything.

What was the last Netflix series you binged on?

I haven’t binged watched a show in a while. The Mindy Project has been a constant for some time now.

One new thing you learned this year?

My nephews singing the ABC song and specifically the younger one (two) faking his way through it.

Making my own everything. Granola is currently what’s going down. It’s an addiction.

The Red Ranger on Power Rangers. Specifically which actor? Who knows…as long as he was sporting that red suit, I was game.
