Director Audrey Barrett has been dreaming of directing Cyrano De Bergerac since she was a teenager. Now she's finally doing it, as Cold Frame Collective presents their new version of the classic play.
Arts Eclectic turns the spotlight on happenings in the arts and culture scene in and around the Austin area. Through interviews with local musicians, dancers, singers, and artists, Arts Eclectic aims to bring locals to the forefront and highlight community cultural events.Support for Arts Eclectic comes from Broadway Bank.. “It's a script that I have loved since I was in high school. Caroline , my partner in the company, grew up watching the 1950 movie. So it was close to both of our hearts.
For this production, the famed poet and swordsman Cyrano is played by Kathleen Fletcher, who says she never expected to play the role in her career, but did a little online campaigning for the role anyway. “Audrey had posted on the Cold Frame social media the announcement of doingAnd I kind of meant it in a joking way,” Fletcher says, “but also in a serious way of like,Cold Frame has worked hard to create their own unique take on the classic play.
There’s the classic 1950 film version with José Ferrer “which we both believe is just an absolutely brilliant adaptation,” Barrett says.“I could rant about forever,” Barrett says. I think I've just been in love with the character of Cyrano forever. He's so self-deprecating. But he has this cockiness that is just irresistible. He's just the coolest.”
“It's been such an incredible role to get to tackle,” Fletcher says. “And even just learning the script in such an intimate way. I remember going through it and fighting back tears. And by 'fighting back,' I mean I relented over to them. But just such a funny, moving, complex script.”Mike is the production director at KUT, where he’s been working since his days as an English major at the University of Texas.
