AGNES, WIL’S WIFE
TEAR AND LAUGHTER THEATER,BULGARIA
By Nina Mazur
Agnes Hathaway (Shakespeare’s wife), she knows with all her heart that out of all the playwrights, her husband Will gives the great- est pleasure to the audience and his fame will outlive us all. The plot sways between laughter, pride, love and tears.
There are two main reasons for choosing the text of Nina Mazur, “Agnes, Will’s wife” First of all you have the possibility of stage realization that the play offers, which correspond to my understandings and preferences when it comes to a one-man show. And of course you have the opportunity to realize this idea with this actress, with whom a long-term creative and professional collaboration is as- sociated. Insofar as the play implies the saturation of the stage space and the action itself with symbolism and mysticism, with the preference to focus efforts on the internal dynamics and expressiveexpressiveness of which the actress is capable, I have consciously minimized the stage effects to themost necessary, arising from the development of the plot at the expense of working on the plasticity of the actor’s embodiment. I have always been guided by the maxim that the infectious, strikingly modern is the forgotten classic that contains the fundamental traits of the aesthetically sustained.
