Quick Questions with Angela Ferns (Michelle, Character)

What do you like best about playing your character in Character?Angela Ferns

Michelle has no internal filter and can go off on a bit of a tangent, which is great fun to perform. The piece is so well written and it is just hilarious to play.

What are rehearsals like?

Laughter-filled.

What was the last project you worked on?

Much Ado About Nothing at Park Theatre. It was set just after the Second World War and I played Margaret as a man-hungry fallen aristocrat

Besides Alice, what’s your favourite past role?

Ophelia in Hamlet at Dalston Bunker.

What’s the best play/show/concert you’ve ever been to?

Market Boy at The National – it was a complete joy – just impeccable theatre. Punchdrunk’s Masque of the Red Death is a close second as I love immersive theatre and that was my very first experience of it.

Not a lot of people know that…

I’m a Richard Curtis rom-com addict. I can’t get enough.

What’s your guilty pleasure?

Chai Tea lattes. They are just so warm and comforting.

What really grinds your gears?

Alarm clocks. Yuck!
