1. What Shakespeare role would you like to play next?
Hotspur
2. What Shakespeare role would you like to play that no one will ever cast you in?
I’d like to play Russell Crowe in Gladiator. Does that count?
3. Describe the best Shakespeare production you’ve seen.
Macbeth at Juilliard, 2005…sh, wasn’t so much the whole production as much as the performance of one Oscar Isaac- pure and grounded, yet light as a feather- playing Macbeth..
4. What is the first thing you think of when you hear the word “flux”?
Fux.
5. Fairies: colorful playmates or dangerous tricksters?
Bizarre creatures that appear when on mushrooms. Could be good or bad, depending on the set and setting. They can only be communicated with via Andrew Weil.
6. If the Flux Capacitor made time travel possible when the DeLorean reached 88mph, what do you think would happen if Flux Theatre Ensemble got theatre up to 88mph?
Michael J. Fox would appear on a skateboard with Huey Lewis and the News dangling from his asshole. They’d beat up the bad guys and kiss the curlie q girls and then have chocolate malts in the malt shop..
7. Complete this sentence: “It’s too late to go back now, I’ll just have to do without my______”
Certainties
8. If a capricious fairy turned you into an animal against your will, what animal would you be and why?
A freshwater salmon, so I could revel in beautiful rolling rivers and babbling streams all the live long day.
9. How many licks does it take…?
To take down that bully Kevin Turtle that picked on me in 7th grade. Probably only one; the guy was like 2.4 feet tall. What ever was my problem?
10. Would you rather have a beer with Richard Burbage or William Kemp?
William , who would provide the hemp.
11. If we could compact your imagination, what color would it be and why?
Black:it just feels very powerful to me.
