| I thought it was an extremely interesting example of "reverse" alternative casting when Christine Lahti was cast in the role of Hester in Signature's revival of Fucking A, a role traditionally played by a black actor. It removed race as a source of her oppression and put the emphasis on class instead, giving the play an entirely different slant. I assume the playwright wanted to see how it played with an alternate interpretation. It worked beautifully. |
