It's an exciting day. I always get a little nervous before starting a new show, and even though this is a reading, not a full production, the nervousness showed up right on time anyway. Maybe it's because this play is...well, it's overwhelming. It's huge, it's literally epic, even though there are only 8 actors, they cover an enormous amount of theatrical territory. I know that this cast is going to bring a terrific amount of experience, talent, and passion to the project, and that assuages the nervousness somewhat!
Angels has everything we look for in a play: interesting, evocative language, dynamic relationships between the characters, and that magical evanescent something that comes to life most vividly and effectively in the theatre. I'm glad to get to play with this great work, even if only for a week.
