Lily Rabe, Hamish Linklater on ‘Ghosts’ Revival, Trump Era Resonance

Lailer Rap She was rarely done when she behaved in a play or movie. She continues to urge her friends and family to go to the Lincoln Center, where she offers a master’s degree in sadness and guilty every night in a famous revival of “ghosts” of Henrik Ibsen.
“This is always the case when you play when it is done, it is over,” Rap admits. “This time, there is no part of me that he considers it a matter of it. Everyone has a busy life, and you do not want to bother them and tell them to come to see the thing you are doing. But it is not a matter of coming to our vision. I want people to see this production, because it is important at the present time.”
Rabi and Hamish LincolterHer husband and part of the theatrical band sit in a rehearsal room forged on the bottom of the Lincoln Center just hours before taking the theater to show Friday night. Both were not familiar with “ghosts”, which did not have the reputation of “doll’s house” from Ibsen or “Haida Japler”, but they were shocked by the feeling of the story despite its position in the nineteenth century. “Ghosts” follow a rich widow, Mrs. Helen Alinking, who plans to open an orphanage in honor of her late husband. She is an occasion to find her son, Ozwald, who returned to the family home after a decade. Over the day and day of the dramatic day, the Aliving family is forced to deal with long -deceit secrets, which affected the health of Ozwald. Without spoiling a lot, this relatively simple hypothesis becomes a way to explore a wide arrangement of topics from religious hypocrisy to sexual discrimination.
Rap felt that Mrs. Alfing-a famous reader of men in her life, including Ovish (Billy Crodop) and a morally vulnerable carpenter-was a resonance while retracting “Rolk”, where there was an echo that retracted women’s rights, where he was recruited in the delusion, as there was an echo that retracted patience. higher.
“I wish we were performing this play under different circumstances, but under these circumstances, I am happy because we are doing this He plays, “Rabi says.
Linklater contradicts here. “What is this phrase about brushing noise?” He asks. “We have to combine people and give them a feeling that their voices are important. This is always the function of art, but in particular now, when everyone is anesthetic with their deprivation. We want to remind everyone that you can make your world a better place again.”
The exhibition also reminded the spouses, who met during the 2010 production entitled “The Merchant of Penice”, how much they love. Both of them have successful professions in movies and television-a major part of the world of “American horror story” by Rayan Murphy, a character actor who recently played like Abraham Lincoln and Jeep Magroder-but that he in the request has kept them away from the theater. Rabe did not act on stage for a decade, and the last Linklater steps councils in 2019.
“It is something that I knew I missed me,” says Rap. “But as you do when you really miss something, you try to close this part of yourself, because it is painful to think about it. Return here in playing, and doing this play, in particular, has overwhelmed me with awareness that I need this more than I confessed to it. I do not want to be far from this time again.”
Linklater says the camera’s representation has rewards, but it does not allow it to extend all his muscles in the same way.
“It is great to go home empty,” says Linclter. “When you finish performing a play, you spend the greatest energy and your spirit as much as possible. Working in movies and television, there is this commitment to get a very specific moment. When you are on the stage, you empty and open.
“Ghosts” also allowed the husband to homize him with Jacques Operation, who was previously directed a rap and Linkelter in the revival of the 2014 plot of “a lot of confusion about nothing” as part of Shakespeare in the public theater in the park.
“Lily and Jack are not the best friends and Marco Polo each other twice a day,” says Linklater with an exaggerated sigh:
It was O’Brien who insisted that the two -hour width with imitation by avoiding a break. The decision obtained a rap support, although this means that she must draw the tragic arc of Mrs. Alfaling, from a life of comfort and relative calm to one of the chaos and unimaginable options, without getting an opportunity to pick up her breath.
“I am so grateful that we do not do it with a break,” she says. “When it ends, there is a kind of silence and looking all over the room because everyone had this personal experience really. I am not sure that it will keep the momentum if we take a break. And I can’t really imagine what I will do with myself for 15 minutes. Once I start, I don’t want to leave the theater.”
“Ghosts” is not the top. It is an uncompromising story, as the virtue is not rewarded, it is full. But Linklater is still arguing that the story that deals with everything from the thug of the mold to the muddy murder is rewarding.
“We had on Saturday on Saturday and there was an older woman who turned into her friend and said:” It was very sad, “said Linkelter. This was not great? “People are really lightly visible with this experience. They like to ask them to take this trip with us. ”
