Eugenie Bondurant is no stranger to the stage but mainly focuses her work on camera. It was very interesting to see how that translated to this project. She was so engaging. When on-camera actors cold read they grab what they can of the script and "pull it off the page" so they will be looking at the camera or at the object of focus when delivering the line. On-stage actors conventionally give the emotion required looking at the script and then bring the focus up to their partner at the end of their line. Still engaging, but not as intense.
Eug. put every ounce of intensity she had into every line. The show took about 7 minutes longer, but was a powerful experience for Steve.
Reminder: these video clips are spoilers for anyone who has not yet performed in or seen a production.
And here are a few interview clips between Eugenie and Steve. Definite SPOILER ALERT on these.
