1. Who do you play in The Complete Women of William Shakespeare?
I play Nell, one of Anne's gossipy neighbors in Second Best Bed.
2. Who do you play in The Complete Women of William Shakespeare?
Nell's role is the younger town gossip, there to find out what's in the will. She's sort of an underling to Marchette and Virginia, but she's still pretty spunky which I enjoy about playing her.
3. Favourite Scene to play? Favourite Line?
My favorite line for Nell would be when she asks Judith what she received in the will, and Virginia scolds her. Her immediate reply is 'I'm interested!' in this very defiant voice and I laugh inside every time I say it!
4. Through your character's eyes, what is Second Best Bed about?
Second Best Bed is about what happens after Shakespeare passes away. Nell is distraught that her
hero is gone. She visits Anne's house with the others, curious about what he left in the will. When they discover the answer, they are shocked at Anne's calm acceptance.
5. What do you hope audiences take away from these two shows?
I hope the audience takes away a sense of hope. That even when things seem terrible, they are not always what they appear, especially when it comes to love. And I also really enjoy how Anne handles the gossipers. She never let's them see how hurt she is and stays strong until the moment they leave. I think we should all react that way in the face of people like Marchette.
