As many people already know, actors are a breed in and of themselves. They sing randomly, start speaking with some foreign accent at the drop of a hat and in general have a tendency to act in their everyday life. Such is the case with the cast of A Tale of Two Cities. During rehearsal a few weeks ago, the actors playing Ernest and Madame Defarge in the Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday cast realized that there are 60 pages in the first act that they aren’t on stage. This realization soon gave birth to the idea of having a weekly cooking session called ”Cooking with the Defarges”.
Cooking with the Defarges
Matt Dickamore and Adrien Swenson decided to follow in the footsteps of Julia Child and try their hand at French Cuisine. This experiment was just too good to pass up, so we filmed it and put it on YouTube. On stage or backstage, in front of the camera or not – actors have a whole lot of fun!
