Flockhart Misses Theatre Acting
Actress Calista Flockhart is desperate to return to her theatre acting roots, because she misses the thrill of performing in front of a live audience.
The former Ally MCBeal star has always preferred stage work, because it challenges her as an actor more than TV.
She says, "You put on your own make-up and wig, and make yourself into someone else. There is nothing like a live audience. There is also the thing about taking the journey from start to finish in a live play, when anything can go wrong. That risk factor is exciting.
"At the risk of sounding pretentious, I remember doing Romeo and Juliet and after the play was over thinking, 'I really feel as if I have lived that'. It was worth it to see the effect a play written 400 years ago had on the audience."
