Jan Nargi of Broadwayworld.com interviewed Olympia Dukakis last week about Martin Sherman's one woman play, Rose, which the Celebrity Series is presenting at the Calderwood Pavilion January 16-21. Here's a bit of their chat:
"BWW: Let’s start by talking about this wonderful character, Rose, that you’ll be playing in Boston in a couple of weeks. You have said that she really resonates for you – that you identify with her in that, for both of you, 'there’s a joy in not belonging.' Can you talk about that a bit?
OD: Growing up I was always feeling like an outsider, being Greek in communities that were not very ethnic. I felt like an outsider in the Greek community, too, because women were expected to behave and socialize in a certain way, and I didn’t. Also being an actor I felt like an outsider, because not many Greek American women were actors then. But once you realize that you are an outsider, there can be a freedom in that. You can find your own way."
