glassheart

Just around the corner is my stage-debut as a lamp. I have the immense pleasure of bringing another one of Reina Hardy’s characters to life as "Only" in her new play Glassheart with Everyday Inferno Theatre Company opening at Access Theater on October 20th.

Imagine this tale as old as time, but Beauty never showed up. Centuries after the curse, the Beast and his last remaining magical servant (Only, played by me) are holed up in a ramshackle apartment, managed by a mysterious landlady with a suspicious taste for gingerbread. When an eligible maiden moves in next door, "happily ever after" feels agonizingly within reach, but we all know that in fairytales, nothing is exactly as it seems. Full of humor, magic, and belief in the life-altering power of love, Glassheart is a witty and decidedly adult take on a classic tale that explores the space between light and dark, and the sacrifices we make in search of an ordinary life.
