I’d claim Kathleen Turner as one of my people!
One of my favorite actors, Kathleen Turner, is currently starring as a Catholic sister in the play “High” at TheaterWorks in Hartford, Connecticut.
“High” Synopsis
SISTER JAMISON CONNELLY (Kathleen Turner) is a drug and alcohol counselor at a Catholic rehabilitation center, having successfully treated most who have sought her guidance. But when the Chief Administrator, FATHER MICHAEL DELPAPP (Michael Berresse), brings in CODY RANDALL (Evan Jonigkeit), a troubled drug-addicted hustler whom he assigns to her care, Sister’s unyielding convictions are ultimately tested.
HIGH explores our faith and the belief in miracles. And despite the medical statistics that prove only one-third of those afflicted with alcoholism and drug addiction will ultimately recover – the question remains: can people really change and do miracles still occur?
In an interview with Kathleen Turner, Joanne Greco Rochman of the Republican-American asked her, “So what’s a sex symbol like you doing playing a nun?” “I’m a foul-mouthed, nasty nun,” answered the actress with a devilish laugh.
The interview continues:
“The play has a lot to do with belief and redemption,” she explained. “It’s about surrendering one’s self to a higher power,” Turner said, adding that she was not sure whether or not she buys into this, but it’s something she wants to explore.
“I’ve listened to testaments and I know that this works for people. I don’t know how I feel about it all. I think I took the role in part because I want to pursue this faith issue. I am a faithful person, but not in organized religion,” she said. …. “It’s a fascinating concept to me,” said Turner. “If it’s true, then anyone can be healed.”
You can see another interview with Kathleen Turner on Fox CT:
I am VERY sad that I am not able to see this. I would love to see Kathleen Turner, number one, and number two, how this story of Sister Jamison unfolds. If you’ve seen it I’d love to hear what you thought (the play goes through August 22). If you know the producers, ask them if I can get a DVD!
