Abstract
In January of 2011 I began working on the role of Ezra Chater
in Tom Stoppard's 1993 masterpiece
Arcadia . The production was under the
direction of Mavourneen Dwyer. After a month and a half of
rehearsal we opened on February 25th, 2011, and began a run of
performances that lasted until March 6th. Ezra Chater appears twice
over the course of the play, first in Act 1 scene 1, then in Act 1 Scene
III, and his character is integral to the mystery that connects the past
and present scenes together. In this paper I will be detailing the
process I took in rehearsing and performing the role.
