 We have a cast of 12 who have been assembled from across the country and across Vermont professionals who have experience and talent with dance, with gymnastics. I think audiences will really feel the chemistry of the cast. I mean, from day one, the first read-through around the table, actually just even introducing ourselves, we just gelled. It's been a great group. We've all come together to work very well together very quickly. It's really a riot. One of the things I love about the Lost Nation Theatre Space, there's so many ways of configuring it, but whatever way is done to help support the story, it's still a really intimate experience. We've transformed the space so that it's what we say in the trade in the round, which means the audience is on all sides of the stage. The playing area is in the middle, so as you're watching the show, you are watching the show, but you're also watching other audience members watching you watching the show. The concept of having, in such a wide open space, having the audience at all ends, there's really nowhere to hide. In this sense and sensibility, Kate Hamill has invented a kind of Greek chorus of gossips. One of the themes that runs through the show is that somebody's always watching, that you have to mind your P's and Q's. What happens if you break the rules of society? They're really capturing the whole feeling of our world with social media. Someone is always watching, someone is always listening. I think there's something very relevant about this type of story right now, because you have the very practical, I should be thinking this way, I should be living this way, these are the choices I should make. And I should not show my feelings because what could people think? All of the characters, except for Marianne and Eleanor, the two principals of the show, the two eldest Dashwood sisters, all of the other characters in the show, including their mother and their future husbands and their sister and their neighbors and their aunts and uncles, they all come out of this chorus of gossips. So all the other actors are playing multiple roles, they're playing people, they're playing animals, they're playing furniture, you name it, they're playing it because the walls have ears. Come see Sense and Sensibility at Lost Nation Theatre October 5th through 22nd.
