How 6 Women Tackle the Title Role in Tracy Letts’ Mary Page Marlowe

Tracy Letts’ Mary Page Marlowe pieces together a portrait of Mary Page from 11 key moments in her life, told out of chronological order, and portrayed by six different actors. The title role in the upcoming New York premiere is shared by Blair Brown, Emma Geer, Tatiana Maslany, Susan Pourfar, Mia Sinclair Jenness, and Kellie Overbey.

Watch the video above to see what they, and other cast members, had to say about working in an ensemble piece such as this, and what it was like to draw inspiration from a number of different actors for the one character.
