I really adore Miss Mulgrew as an actress however in the play Equus her way of acting definitely is a bit too overacted.
Someone should tell her that because I know for sure that she could do it better!!!
Kate Mulgrew is a skilled and inspired actor in every sense. Too bad the interviewer keeps dropping names and trying to talk about past shows. Glad she keeps him on topic and speaks so eloquently. Makes me want to see the play even more.
What a lovely person she is. I absolutely adore her voice. I am certain she is just fabulous on stage. She is very articulate and intelligent.
Saw this the other day, I always have loved this one. Great ending of the first half. Great stuff.
I think I read that Shaffer wrote Amadeus?

I'm sure this is a wonderful play...but this actress...her tone is so unlikeable.
Maybe--probably-- she is a great actress...But, I would rather hear individuals who are open with their experience, rather than condescending to Leonard when he asks legitimate questions.
She does not come across well....sorry.
