My Thoughts

I've seen Elizabeth in six Shakespeare plays, one comedic role, and on one breast cancer awareness commercial. She can definitely do Shakespeare; she has a wonderful comic flare; and she is well befriended by the camera. She seems to be able to put her finger on the heart of her character and make the character's motivations her own. I was greatly moved by her portrayal of Isabella in Measure For Measure. How a woman could find it in her heart to beg (literally on her knees) for the life of the very man that ordered the death of her brother is more than I could imagine, yet she made it so believable. And I must mention, I have never seen such an amazingly graphic live throat-slitting as was performed on her in the HASF's Macbeth. I eagerly await her next role.
