LAUREN MILLER plays DOTARA,
\nTHE MAGISTRESS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Q: How long have you been in Chicago?<\/strong>
\nLAUREN<\/strong>:\u00a0Chicago?\u00a0 We’re on an island.\u00a0 Who ARE you?\u00a0 Males have limited privileges here, but I do have some power in that regard…<\/p>\n

Q: What can you tell us about The Magistress?<\/strong>
\nLAUREN<\/strong>:\u00a0The Magistress is The Most Important Person in the entire show.\u00a0 Why do you ask?<\/p>\n

Q:\u00a0THE WAYWARD WOMEN is set on the fictional Island of Amosa, a matriarchal society. Does this differ much from other performances?
\nLAUREN<\/strong>:\u00a0This matriarchal thing is a total misunderstanding.\u00a0 Our real problem is that we have zero diversity.\u00a0 Men coming along occasionally is scant comfort in that regard.\u00a0 And you can only imagine the issues that GLBT folks endure here, it is a quite a problem.\u00a0 Of course staying in closets beats the hell out of standing behind curtains waiting to be stabbed, so I guess that’s something.<\/p>\n

Q:\u00a0What experience do you have with Shakespeare? Have you got a favorite play? Character?
\nLAUREN<\/strong>:\u00a0Who’s that?\u00a0 You mean that Willy??\u00a0 Is he Jewish???\u00a0 How old????<\/p>\n

Q:\u00a0Like many of Shakespeare’s advisers, the Magistress enjoys little control over others, and in fact (like some Poloniuses) often has a poor understanding of what’s going on. Do you relate to this character at all, or is she a complete stranger to you?<\/strong>
\nLAUREN<\/strong>:\u00a0Oy, this control thing.\u00a0 Working here is like having to herd cats, I have to tell you.\u00a0 I should contact my union.<\/p>\n

Q: Do you have a favorite line?<\/strong>
\nLAUREN<\/strong>: Yes.<\/p>\n

Q: Anything else you’d like to add?<\/strong>
\nLAUREN<\/strong>: Where’s the tequila? This is hard work.<\/p>\n

Did we mention this play is performed in a Bar?<\/strong><\/p>\n
