I’ve sat down about three different times to blog now and I still haven't posted anything. It overwhelms me to articulate this show in writing. This might simply have to do with performing Tom Stoppard, or the fact I have wanted to do this show for the last four years, or simply the acute closeness I feel towards Annie at times. What drew me to this show from the very beginning was my intense interest/ curiosity and distain for Annie and her actions. I was drawn to her impulsive nature, her ability to go after what she wanted emotionally, physically and artistically. However, I also found myself distaining the way she wreaks havoc on those around.

What I have learned so far about Annie has released the distain I have felt for her and has therefore reveled many of her motives. Such as, why dose she cheat on Henry? (I do, by the way believe Henry is the love of Annie’s life). And why specifically with Billy? I don’t think I want to let those secrets out of the bag, though it might be obvious. In any case I’m simply excited to have found them.
