Tell us a bit about your role in the show.
I play (longest nameless title for a character ever) the Soap Manufacturer's Wife's Maid, who happens to also be her sister. Status is paramount in turn of the century Vienna, and working for my very rich sister is my best outcome. I use my charms as trade for trinkets. Not a bad life. As an ensemble member I am also playing a whore and a court lady.
What are you looking forward to about being in London?
Visiting my sister, author Emily Winslow, in Cambridge; National Portrait Gallery, jacket potatoes
Kate Baldwin
Tell us a bit about your role in the show.
I play a sweet, naive prostitute named Mizzi. She is in love with the Baron but unable to admit it. She works in a brothel run by the ruthless Frau Matzner and participates in a scheme to 'save the empire'.
What are you most looking forward to about being in London?
I am most looking forward to spending time with my cousin who is studying at the Royal Veterinary College. And I hear Borough Market is wonderful.
Herndon Lackey
Hello London!
My name is Herndon Lackey, and I will be playing Man #2. This means I will be portraying a variety of smallish characters: conductor, Johann Strauss 2, a waiter, the nefarious Colonel, and a vaudeville song and dance man. I will be busy changing costumes and having a good time.
What I'm most looking forward to about being in London is being in London. It is easily my favourite city in the world. The architecture, the art galleries, sitting in on trials at the Old Bailey (do they still wear the wigs?), exploring all the different neighborhoods, the owls at the Regents Park Zoo, trips to Bath, Oxford, etc. on our days off, BBC radio and TV, and especially the people (possessors of the best senses of humour, anywhere).
I played in a show called The Kiss of the Spiderwoman on the West End, and it was possibly the best six months of my life. I am so looking forward to May 8th. Until then, I remain
Obediently yours,
Herndon
