 The Turn of the Screw. That's an adaptation of the Henry James novel written by Jeffrey Hatcher. I'm also directing the production here with the two actors who are performing here. Hi, my name is Laura Michelle Earl and I'm playing the role of the governess. And I am Christopher Shear and I am playing the role of everyone who is not the governess. That includes a narrator, the gentleman who hires the governess, the little English schoolboy in the governess's care, and the housekeeper who collaborates with the governess. I've done a lot of shows at Las Nation where I play multiple characters. They're often very light and frothy quick change comedies. This has been a very interesting project for me because it's all of the same tools that we use in those kinds of comedies, but it's a very thrilling and suspenseful, dramatic and moody, very viscerally chilling gothic horror. So to use those tools of comedy but to apply them to a different genre has been a very interesting challenge for me. What's really neat about the fact that one person is playing all these characters, it kind of connects them in a way and there's this ambiguity and they kind of start to bleed together in a way that's a little unnerving. One moment Chris is the master who hired me and then he's the little boy and then he's the housekeeper. Well the story is being told in 1872. The play has a really strong structure. It's told over seven days. Essentially it's the governess's story and she is telling it via the diary. It's also being told by this other person who read the diary who is telling somebody else about having read it and about knowing this person. So there are layers and we talk about the fact that Laura plays the one character but in fact she within that character she has different voices because it's really storytelling and sometimes she's talking to the audience more like a narrator than a character. So it's really it is and so it's a wonderful exploration of the art and story. Come see Turn of the Screw at Last Nation Theatre.
