Production: The Coast Of Utopia
Four actors from the 42-member The Coast of Utopia company — Jennifer Ehle, Josh Hamilton, Ethan Hawke and Amy Irving — talk about the experience of appearing in Tom Stoppard’s triptych of 19th century Russian intellectual history, including their own trepidation at working with the brilliant Stoppard; adapting language written by an English playwright for Russian characters to the comfort of American actors — and audiences; the thrill of of working in a variant of a classical repertory company; whether they chose to research the era and their characters; and why they chose to spend a year of their lives with this project, playing parts both large and small.
