A Child Of The Theatre Part V: Misalliance and Shaw - The Upstart Crow Theatre Company

Last night we opened Misalliance. Which is why we’ve been too busy to post about past productions. Anyway I recently realized how many Shaw plays I’ve been in. Interestingly, only one of them, like Misalliance, was set in Shaw’s own time.

The first one was in 1992 and the show was The Apple Cart, which is set in some time in the future. I was Princess Alice.

Then in 2005 I played Joan of Arc in St. Joan.

Then in 2011 I was in The Philanderer, along with Louis Clark and Joe Illingworth who are also in Misalliance.

And most recently I played Cleopatra in Shaw’s Caesar and Cleopatra, with John Taylor, who also, is in Misalliance.
