"His performance in
'Cyrano' changed my onstage life," said Bernadete Peters:; her dressing room is decorated with
the Derek Jacobi poster she takes from show to show. "I came away from that so inspired, I took it back with me to my show. He was so specific, so THERE in
what he chose to do, so in the moment, that I grabbed that. In 'Breaking the Code', when he was talking about
mathematics and fresh ideas, it was as if it was happening for the first time for him, as if he just got those ideas. It was so exciting
to be taken away by the immediacy of what he was saying. But what I saw up onstage was the thing happening in that moment; I didn't see him working at
it." |
