I know an actor who doesn't want to play sexual/violence trauma-related story. This sounds like this role and the play's demands -- and it's a helluva workout -- were more than she expected. She's a smart actor, with great range and investment in everything she does*. Doesn't sound like a Mantello issue.
*a bit under appreciated in "Three Tall Women," in my opinion. Second half she was especially focused and held her own with two of the most iconoclastic stage actors.
