On Sunday, May 15, The Actors Fund gathered at the home of Western Council member Ilyanne Morden Kichaven and her husband Mike for their annual west coast celebration of Edwin Forrest Day and Shakespeare's birthday. The Actors Fund was honored to have acclaimed star of stage and screen Liev Schreiber as their special guest for the afternoon. BroadwayWorld has photos from the event below!
Mr. Schreiber delighted guests with a presentation entitled "Shakespeare's Bad Boys: Duality and Action," in which he gave the rapt audience an in-depth perspective into the minds and motivations of a few of Shakespeare's most notorious villains. In addition to insightful textual analysis, he also favored the crowd with readings from speeches of the villains themselves: Iago (Othello), Shylock (The Merchant of Venice), and Macbeth.
Celebrity guests in attendance included Patrick Fabian ("Better Call Saul"), James Karen, Ilene Graff, Jane Johnston Shearing, Patricia Morison and Blair Tindall (author, "Mozart In The Jungle").
