Multiple roles? She'll be playing more than one role? I was hoping she was going to play opposite Ethan Hawke or Billy Crudip.
Well there are 3 plays, so maybe she'll do a role in each.
I'm putting my money on Natalie Herzen - look at this description:
"Natalie Herzen: 30’s. Alexander’s wife. An independent woman, free-thinking and romantic, optimistic, warm, down to earth, emotionally present and full of feeling."
Am plucking this out of the air and will be proven wrong no doubt.
