The Actor’s Perspective | Cate Blair-Wilhelm – MRS. LINTOTT

January 6, 2013 By AVLT Leave a Comment

On preparing for the role of Mrs. Lintott…
In addition to the technicalities of continually reading and studying the script, working with a dialect coach, and looking up a number of English words and phrases, I read synopses and reviews of the play. I looked into “Durham University” ~ where my character attended college ~ to find that it is second in prestige to “Oxbridge.”

Thoughts on Mrs. Lintott…
“Keep calm and carry on” seems to apply to Lintott. She takes everything in stride… Doesn’t get sucked into the drama of life. She just keeps on keeping on.

Hopeful takeaways…
There’s a lot going on in this play. I look forward to talk-backs where audience members may choose to tell us that very thing!

Favorite scene…
I love the scene where Lintott lays it out for the boys – and teachers! – about how women have been shoved aside throughout history.

Favorite characters…
I have come to love lintott, but the character of posner touches my heart. He wants so much to grow up and experience everything. He’s so open and vulnerable.

On working with Available Light Theatre…
It’s been awhile since I’ve worked with a cast and crew made up mostly of artists that I didn’t already know. It’s been fun to see the on-stage relationships grow. They’re all terrific!
