Dass diese Geschichte auf der Buhne glanzend funktioniert, kommt nicht von ungefahr: Dies ist kein 'Stuck nach dem bekannten Film', sondern umgekehrt, denn das Theaterstuck war zuerst da. Es ist dem Zufall zu verdanken, dass daraus auch ein umwerfender Kinoerfolg wurde: Der Film mit dem atemberaubenden Colin Firth als stotterndem Konig war in 2011 Star bei der Oscar-Verleihung und gewann außerdem zahlreiche Auszeichnungen bei den Golden Globes, den British Academy und den British Independent Film Awards. Da dieses historisch-biografische Drama zugleich die Geschichte einer wunderbaren Freundschaft ist, eroberte es im Sturm auch die Herzen des Publikums.

The actress, coming off a stint in CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF on Broadway and a promotional tour for Joseph Gordon-Levitt's DON JON, told the magazine: 'You know, I gotta hustle. I'm a twenty-eight-year-old woman in the movie business, right?' she says. 'Pretty soon the roles you're offered all become mothers. Then they just sort of stop. I have to hedge against that with work—theater, producing, this thing with Esquire.'
I was a bit intrusive to my cast this evening: I went around to each cast member and stuck my voice memo recorder in their face asking them 4 on-the-spot questions about Henry Higgins. It proved to be a funny experiment as my cast mates blurted out some of their answers (I made this a timed experiment, asking each cast member to say the first answer that came to mind).
