Laura Linney
From Les Liaisons Dangereuses.
Actress Laura Linney talks about returning to Broadway as the Marquise de Merteuil in the Roundabout production of Les Liaisons Dangereuses and whether she thinks her character is truly evil. She also discusses her earliest theatrical experiences, including working on the stage crew at a summer theatre while still in her “tween” years; appearing in a play written by her father, inspired in part by their own relationship, while a student at Brown; battling back from stage fright while at the Juilliard School; her big break appearing in the original production of Sight Unseen in its Off-Broadway debut — and what it was like to return to the play, in a different role — in its Broadway debut a dozen years later; how she handles appearing in shows that — both fairly and unfairly — don’t meet with critical and popular success; and taking on a much-read but not often-seen classic like Arthur Miller’s The Crucible.
