Exclusive Interview: Cast of International Academy East High School’s ‘The Book of Will’
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: the world would not be what it is without the work of William Shakespeare. The playwright not only wrote some of the most recognizable stage pieces, but also fundamentally changed how language was spoken. His words are important, which seems to be one of the threads that weaves its way through International Academy East High School’s production of The Book of Will!
In this exclusive Box Seat Babes interview, cast members Ishani Suresh, Sameer Pai, Carlos Elias, and Annika Rönmark discuss what their time on this production and with the drama department at International Academy East High School has been like! Each of these extraordinary actors has had such different journeys to the stage, yet every single one of them has a deep love and respect for the art. What drew them to this show and these characters specifically? What is their process for bringing them to life, and does the weight of history play a hand in dictating how these characters develop? Listen in as all four of these actors discuss what makes this show special and how their teacher has inspired them to give their all!
