After a thoroughly enjoyable run as Belgian orphan Marthe in Metropolitan's 2014 production of The Hero, I'm beyond happy to return to Metropolitan to play a decidedly un-orphaned and altogether insufferable young lady of society, Clara Hunter, in The Climbers. It's a hilarious 1901 play chock-full of tragedy, social-climbing, and flirting with married men. I can't wait.

Very funny... The excellent company of actors... work effectively as an ensemble and mine the characters for their inherent silliness and pathos without resorting to caricature.
