Q&A with Actress Kiara Kastle from “The Seagull”
Q: Can you tell us more about your role, and did you do anything specific to prepare for playing the character?
Kastle-A: I played Marsha, she’s this girl who’s in love with Konstantin, who doesn’t love her back, she spends all her life searching for the meaning of life itself, and she devoutly gives her life to Konstantinos even if he doesn’t see it.
She doesn’t want to end up like her mother and someone she does, she marries someone else to forget, and yet she doesn’t. She’s stuck in her life.
Q: Any fun memories or favorite parts?
Kastle-A: She’s so complex and feels so deeply, and I loved exploring all the different sides of Masha.
She is loving, and at the same time, she can be very mean.
She’s also a drunk and those scenes are always fun to play. I always discovered something new with her until our last production.
Q. What did your audience experience after watching?
Kastle-A: The Seagull is a very deep play, and I think everyone relates to at least one thing in the play. Our director, Tom McNeil, had this vision of what he wanted for the play, and it translated very clearly to everyone. He wanted both acts to be very different from each other.
There was a drastic change between our first act and the second act, where it seemed like a rehearsal at first where nobody was in period costume and it wasn’t really staged at the beginning, and then in act two, the audience really immersed themselves in the play, it was a proper period play, and that made them get hooked on what we were doing and enjoy a Chekhov play, where people already come to watch it with preconceived ideas.
