I think she would be incredible in this role. And of course, we spoke about that. He is her fave playwright and one more female character remains. In addition to an amazing cast of Shakespearean characters through the seasons, Seana, has mastered every female character in Tennessee Williams play canon. She lives with one husband, (Director Miles Potter) one son, (Actor Cal Potter) two cats and one fish. Other Stratford credits include Blithe Spirit, Mary Stuart, Medea, Phèdre, The Matchmaker, The Trojan Women, The Glass Menagerie, Orpheus Descending, Night of the Iguana, Shakespeare's Will, Good Mother, Private Lives and She Stoops to Conquer.She has three Doras, one Jessie, one Genie, an honorary MFA in Acting from ACT, a Doctor of Sacred Letters from Trinity College and a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. She has played more than 24 Shakespearean roles, including Cleopatra (Centaur), Katerina the Shrew and Richard III (Stratford). Previously: After playing the title role in Mother Courage and Constance in King John last season, Ms McKenna went on to San Francisco's American Conservatory Theatre to play the mother of Jesus in Colm Tóibín's solo play, Testament. Season - 2015: Gertrude in Hamlet and Fräulein Doktor Mathilde von Zahnd in The Physicists. And I was astounded to find out that this was Seana's first Hamlet! As always, with every character, she found unique nuances "from the page" to make this character her own. This year's production of Hamlet is one of the best in Festival history. This year she was kind enough to take the time for a phone chat depsite a very busy schedule as the Stratford Company is now in film rehearsals for all of the 2015 Shakespeares - Pericles, Taming of the Shrew, Love's Labour's Lost, and Hamlet. Seana McKenna is one of my favorite actors.
