Glenda Braganza on Coma Unplugged... (2:55)"It really ends up being about communication. And I think that the whole play revolves around communicating, and relationships, and really understanding what you want, and trying to convey that to someone who cares about you. ...It's a lot of word play, a lot of hot-and-cold dynamics, which I think is typical of a lot of relationships... And so its a complex relationship, but it's really fascinating in that respect to be able to delve into it." |
Interviewer: Lyne Paquette
Interviewee: Glenda Braganza
LP: Hi.
GB: Hi!
LP: Can you present yourself and tell us a bit about what you'll be doing on Coma Unplugged?
GB: Sure. My name is Glenda Braganza and I'm an actor here, based in Montreal and I'm playing the character of 'Margorie' who is the lead character's, Daniel's, ex-wife.
LP: And what attracted you to this play or this character? What made you accept this role?
GB: Well it's an incredibly complex and interesting play. it deals with a lot of issues--mostly perception. And, in terms of my character, she has split up with her husband--it was something she initiated, and it became the lynchpin in his unravelling, that brought him to the state in which we find him in the play. So, as you get to know Margorie, over several scenes, you learn about their relationship--where they started and what they were at one point, and slowly how Daniel and she have changed over the years, and her reasons for leaving, and the fallout of that and how she's trying to still 'stay connected' to him because they have a daughter, but, at the same time, still holding to some of the reasons why she left, and trying to get through to him. It really ends up being about communication. And I think that the whole play revolves around communicating, and relationships, and really understanding what you want, and trying to convey that to someone who cares about you. And so it's a bit of a dance between the two of them. It's a lot of word play, a lot of hot-and-cold dynamics, which I think is typical of a lot of relationships, especially married couples or divorced couples with families. And so its a complex relationship, but it's really fascinating in that respect to be able to delve into it.
LP: Okay. Thank you!
GB: Thank you!
