On preparing for the role of Crowther…
I spent a lot of time studying the British school system. I also researched the people, poems, songs, works of art, etc. that we mention in the play.
Thoughts on Crowther…
Crowther is not very talkative nor does he like to speak his mind for or against a cause but he is very involved in theatre. This to me says that he is more comfortable on stage being heard than he is among his peers and teachers.
Hopeful takeaways…
I hope the audience decides never to take any knowledge, however insignificant, for granted.
Favorite scene…
My favorite scene in the play is the French scene during Hector’s class. It gives a great insight into the boys’ education and also Hector’s teaching strategies, not to mention there are a few good laughs.
Favorite character…
Lintott is my favorite character in this play because of her passion for teaching and, of course, her colorful vocabulary. Nobody else could say “twat” so many times and get away with it.
On working with Available Light Theatre…
Working with AVLT has been one of the best theatre experiences I have had. This extremely talented cast and crew work, play, challenge each other, and perform together so perfectly it’s no wonder why the play is at the level of perfection that it is.
