00:02 - What sacrifices do you think main stage actors
00:07 would make to give a great performance on stage?
00:10 Acting as I understand it,
00:13 takes an enormous toll on the mind, body and spirit.
00:16 And in this production, in your role in particular,
00:20 I'm gonna push the boundaries
00:22 of what your mind, body and spirit can take.
00:25 Are you listening?
00:26 Whatever actress I cast in this role
00:28 will run right into the burning building.

00:54 and the play will never, ever be performed again
00:58 You wanna be a part of this?

01:23 In a production you know nothing about.

01:28 she died.
01:30 - I thought it could only be performed once.

01:33 She died during rehearsals.
01:35 - Goddess of theater and wine,
01:38 may her blood run quick and cold
01:40 to calm the pain of my works.
01:43 That I take my own life to offer for a payment.
