The costume designer of the popular Broadway show Irena’s Vow, Astrid Brucker, starring the extraordinary Tovah Feldshuh, commented today under Wonders in the Dark’s review of the production, posted yesterday. The staff deeply appreciates her much-valued input:
” I agree with you, Tovah Feldshuh is truly amazing!
After having worked with her on the Off-Broadway play and now on the Broadway run I would never miss a play with her in it. She is magical and brings Irena to life with her earnestness and her great sense of humor. It’s been a wonderful experience designing the costumes on this very moving play.
I’m not sure what you find so “manipulative”!
Irena Gut also had a great sense of humor (according to her daughter that’s what got her through those times) and her faith in her religion gave her strength to save people. When I go to see the play I can hear people commenting on how wonderful the play is as they leave the theater. I hope it gets all the audience and acknowledgement it deserves.
Every one of us can make a difference and that is an incredible message in today’s world.”
Ms. Brucker’s comment is actually No. 17 on the comment thread of the post.
