An Ideal Role
Thu, 26 Jan 2006, 01:58 pmPartly to get everyone who has been distracted from what this site is really for, but I would like to pose a two part question to the general theatrical populus.
1. If you could be cast in ANY stage role, what would it be?
2. If you could direct any play, regardless of cost, what would it be?
For me it would be:
1: Gallileo Figaro from We Will Rock You
2: A Streetcar Named Desire (or Luck of the Draw, when i finish writing it.)
Have a good day!!

2. MacBeth

Re: An Ideal Role
Glad to see something fun, and interesting, and (touch wood) unlikely to cause any silly arguments.
1. Stage roles are suject to change depending on what I'm working on, but at the moment it would be a toss-up between Joanna (from COMPANY by Sondheim) or Cathy (from THE LAST FIVE YEARS by Jason Robert Brown)
2. As a director, I'd love to take on Kiss Me Kate by Cole Porter or something lovely and simple like I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change.

Re: An Ideal Role
I'm not an actor, so I'll reply to the first one as a techie:
1. Stage manager. So much fun bossing the actors around!
2. My own play, or a play of a friend's. Other than that, Pirandello or Sartre. (Such an existentialist!)
Good question!

Re: An Ideal Role
1. Nancy in Oliver
2. RENT - I was on a school excursion and we were watching a play I didn't really understand, but the theatre had a balcony so I was staging "Life Support" for half an hour or so. Plus I've never seen it, so I won't have any preconceptions about how it should look.
Good post, lots of fun.
