Have you ever seen Mary Anne Bowman act? It's a velvet visceral experience. She is a dynamo that is ready to break free at any moment and the enjoyment is in seeing how and when.
Mary Anne is working to corner the niche market of the Great Roles in the English-speaking canon, and that includes translations. When we discussed her headshots, she told me that she loved doing screwball comedy, but it was the tragic roles that really interested her. And, not willing to be pigeonholed, she wants the great roles, regardles of gender. Currently she's gunning for the role off MacBeth. While I have my reservations about a woman pulling of such a masculine role, if ever there was a woman who could do it, it's Mary Anne. And I will definitely be in the front row cheering her on.
