Featuring

LUCY ANSELL, CAROLINE LEE, DAN WITTON, AND HARVEY ZIELINSKI


A wildly ambitious reflection on the legacy of Australian actress Judith Anderson, Dame & Commander is composed of four playlets that each address a pivotal role from Anderson’s career. Whether conquering the New York stage as Hamlet and Medea, earning an Oscar nomination for Alfred Hitchcock’s Rebecca, or tapping into Star Trek fandom as the Vulcan High Priestess T'Lar, Anderson’s versatility and impact is brought to surreal life by playwright Theresa Borg. The reading will be directed by Maude Davey (Gender Euphoria) and features Caroline Lee (Dance Nation) in the Dame Judith Anderson roles, along with Lucy Ansell (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), Dan Witton (Anthem), and Harvey Zielinski (Hir).
