Agnes Mundy

Annabel Sharma (second from right, in the dress rehearsal last night, beside Celeste Guinness, Ellie Russell and Jessica Young) plays the part of Agnes Mundy in our production of Dancing at Lughnasa (preview tonight). She writes :

In the beginning I wasn't sure about Agnes as she is quite a reticent character. I must admit that I have found this quite hard to portray as an actor, since more often than not, her silences are a consequence of deep thought. I find that one of the most challenging aspects is Agnes's standing : she doesn't have very much self-esteem, but yet does have enough to stand up to Kate (continued).
