For her [Essie Davis], playing Miss Fisher is a delight. “She is so feisty and witty and goes on great adventures. She’s brave and reckless – she’s kind of like a superhero,” she says with a laugh, blue eyes twinkling. The role has certainly beefed up her special skills resume. “A lot of it has been learning it on the spot, including tango and foxtrot lessons, how to throw a dagger and a hatchet, how to balance on a rooftop, how to hang off the back of a train, how to drive a Hispano-Suiza, how to fly an aeroplane, how to speak Mandarin and Russian,” she reels off the list. “Phryne is just brilliant at everything and so it’s about really winging it to make it look good.”
