Boogerface

There is a very emotional scene in Fedra (buy your tickets now!)  in which something very emotional happens and then my character falls in love. In terms of the arc of a scene and the character journey this is one juicy, funny, heightened scene, my favorite scene of everything I have done thus far, hands down. Towards the end there is a quiet, beautiful, extended moment when my character and the prince lock eyes and gaze at one another, dumbfounded by our love.

The scene felt beautiful from beginning to end. We are at the point in the run when we can just play and live within the scene, and the cast is so strong that I trust them completely to take me on my journey and I work hard to take them on theirs.

Having said all that, I can only imagine how difficult it was for the Prince to gaze deeply into my eyes when there was a giant gooey booger hanging at the end of my nose for the entire second half of the scene. Sexy Sexy. Since we are in a thrust, and the audience can see everything, I can only imagine the audience thinking, "I wonder if he's really in love with her, or just staring at that booger. Jeeze, its huge. Gross."

C'est la vie.
