Name: Emma Caldwell
Character you are playing in Abigail/ 1702? Abigail Williams (although for most of the play I go by the name Ruth Meadow)
Favourite City? Tokyo
Chips or chocolate? Chips
Hang over remedy? Red Powerade
Sailor Moon or Samari Pizza Cats? Samurai Pizza Cats
Favourite theatre experience/show you’ve seen? I saw Bell Shakespeare’s production of Henry V (dir. Damien Ryan) in 2014 that has really stayed with me. I remember crying at the end because it was just so good – beautifully acted and an amazing idea to set it in the middle of WWII.
What will be your biggest challenge heading into Abigail 1702? Taking on one of theatre’s most famous antagonists and making her human and relatable.
What are most looking forward heading into the production? Getting back on stage – I’ve been working constantly in theatre but more behind the scenes, so getting back in the rehearsal room is very exciting!
