Rebecca Nussbaum: Anabelle Mason In Henrietta The Eighth
Playing the role of an antagonist, Rebecca Nussbaum was Anabelle Mason in Henrietta the Eighth. Acting out a woman in her 40’s, Nussbaum accomplished Ms. Mason’s wicked personality and malicious plan for the Sutton’s. She did so with her gradual movements to grasp and physical projection toward Claire. The volume Rebecca projected provided Anabelle’s attitude and tone to establish her behavior in the play. For instance, her conversation with Jimmy gave the idea that she was in control of his decisions and had a demanding mindset. This idea was supported with Rebecca’s ability to characterize Anabelle’s demeanor constantly during the performance.
