Theatre is in the realm of “collective illusion”: the walls of the room dissolve, the stage vanishes, the playwright whisks the audience away to another place and another time, and the actors and actresses transform to new people — or sometimes, old people.
My guests today are Len Falkenstein (playwright, director, theatre guru, as well as Director of Drama at UNB), Brittany Long (theatre student, actress) and Jessie Roy (theatre student, seamstress and actress). Theatre UNB is doing a performance of Age of Arousal by Canadian playwright Linda Griffiths, so we chat about becoming older women, creating the costumes of the Victorian Era, and how typewriters can be sexy. Listen for the sneak peak at one of the gin-inspired moments of the play!
