Spotlight on Leah Paterson - Hero in Much Ado About Nothing

1. What is your role in this production? Hero
2. Is this your first Shakespearean production? This is my first full Shakespearean show- although I was a servant in Taming of The Shrew when I was eight. I don't know if that counts though since I'm not really sure I knew what was going on.
3. What is it that drew you to this production? I've always wanted to do a Shakespeare show. We did lots of Shakespearean scene and monologue work while I was at school at Grant MacEwan, but its really great to be able to play a character for the whole length of the play.
4. What is your favourite thing about the role you play in this current production? It's interesting to play someone who is very much at the mercy of the other characters in the play, and still not play her like a wimp. Since Hero is so silent, a lot of my work is reacting which as been challenging but really rewarding. Also- the costumes are AMAZING. I feel like I'm in my real wedding dress- it's gorgeous!
