❤️🤪 "Love and Madness" in HAMLET. Week 2 - Act 2, Sc 1-2(a)
|
Before I get to this week's session, I'm remembering Peter Van Norden, a wonderful actor and even better person. I was lucky to know Peter in my 20s and to work with (and learn from) him. A consummate professional, always with a twinkle in his eye. He was also hugely supportive and positive of my work here. I'm grateful that we stayed connected and I was honored he wanted to be involved. The playlist below includes my full interview (from 2018) with him about his life and career, and several of his performances and rehearsal sessions, including Falstaff (Merry Wives), Clarence (Richard III) and Brutus (Julius Caesar). He clearly loved working on these parts. Thanks for so very much, Peter. We'll miss ya!
