The Interpreters

I never imagined that finding an actor to interpret a character relayed with words was as complex as finding those words to begin with.

There is so much that has to be considered. Can an actor's range encompass the peaks of joyful abandon after making an escape from years of abuse? Or the valleys of despair at witnessing the wounds carved into your being? What of the fleeting moments of resignation when you wake up from that dream of suffering his suffocating fury (as I did last night) to realize that you are still safe. Or even the troubling affliction of having moved six times in sixteen months yet 'home' still eludes you?

Who can we find to interpret such a joyful malady?
