Simply The Best
Written By: Donna Cochran | Issue: 2020/05 - May
EVENT CANCELLED. Before I was an antiques dealer (Mirror Lake Antiques), I taught chemistry.
As a scientist I always hated it when people used superlatives, especially in advertising. Calling something “the finest,” “the best,” “the greatest” has always bothered me because I was taught, “there are no absolutes in science.”
That said, I am about to break my own rule: I declare the cast selected for the production of Agatha Christie’s The Unexpected Guest is the best any director can dream of.
Auditions (held in early March) were very well-attended and the individuals cast fit incredibly well with the vision I have for the various characters. We have cast the three main characters with all veteran actors. And, while I have only worked with one before, I can’t wait to see them exhibit the interplay required for this show. Further, the supporting actors also have a grasp of the nuances Christie uses to build each character. We are all enthusiastic about the project.
With the current situation on our Plateau and in the world, it is unlikely that The Unexpected Guest will be performed in HCP’s spring “slot,” May 21-24 and May 28-31. However, as the director, I am grateful to know there is so much talent available to perform in this show.
