John Glover (#213) - August, 2008
from ATW - Downstage Center · host American Theatre Wing and XM Satellite Radio
Tony-winning actor John Glover (for Love! Valour! Compassion!) talks about the revival of Christopher Durang's The Marriage of Bette and Boo at the Roundabout, and how he grappled with the distinctly unpleasant aspects of his character, based upon Durang's own grandfather. He also talks about why he found the prospect of teaching more daunting than acting; how he's managed to maintain a steady diet of theatre work throughout his years of television and film work; the pivotal role that director Harold Prince played early in his career; his memories of the legendary Broadway production of Frankenstein, which closed on its opening night; how he came to the role of the Jeckyll twins in Terrence McNally's Love! Valour! Compassion!; his rare musical appearances in Hans Christian Anderson in San Francisco and The Drowsy Chaperone on Broadway; and why some four decades after his stage debut he decided to start taking acting lessons.
