We are officially international! This week we are delighted to be joined by a wonderful actress and dear friend of ours, Macy Nyman, hailing from London, who was visiting New York City when we were recording this episode. We were so honored that she came and joined us for an afternoon of recording as we delve into this act of chaos, life and movement. We begin to see how Ivanov and Anna/Sarah are perceived by their acquaintances and explore a series of different topics and questions. Did Anna and Ivanov marry for love? How long term illness affects a relationship, the elaborative nature of gossip, Lvov as the young shadow of Ivanov and Sasha as the young shadow of Anna, the nature of boredom in Chekhov. And what kind of kiss is the fatal kiss at the end of act 2?
Also, Kenneth Branagh was born in 1960.
