One might say that November 19 is the cross to bear for the cast of The Madonna Painter will. Ready or not… the date will come… and the show will open. Somehow they will arrive at that destination with the rehearsal process being their journey towards it.
So how do I convey the excitement of seeing these actors give in to this play and discover it without giving anything away? Well, I suppose that is my own personal cross to bear in this scenario.
The cast dove into the material from the first read through. This metaphoric and imagistic play suddenly had life, and humour. More humour than I would have imagined. Each person in the cast is a unique and vibrant colour to be added to this production.
After the read through I turned to Eda and said “This is great casting”.
And so began the journey!
