ACTING SHAKESPEARE: A Roundtable Discussion with Artists from the Utah Shakespeare Festival’s 2015 Production of King Lear

Abstract

Bahr: Welcome to the culminating event in our 2015 Wooden O Symposium, the Actors’ Roundtable Discussion on King Lear. We are grateful to have you here and especially grateful to have actors you had the opportunity to see last night onstage. [Applause] First, I’d like to ask the actors to introduce themselves, starting with Saren. Next, we’ll have them talk about the roles they play, how they came here to Utah, and where home-base is. Then I’ll open it up to you for questions. Saren, would you begin?
