Lynn Redgrave performing in The Lost Colony

[supernova]

This is cool! I just saw this on my local WRAL web site. The Lost Colony is an outdoor drama performed every summer in Roanoke, NC. Many young actors around here find work in the summer being in the various outdoor dramas around the state.


Redgrave Takes Stage For 'Lost Colony' Season Debut



It's the same story of “The Lost Colony” that has been told for years. Many of the sets and scenes have been updated, and the story is completely new for Redgrave.

"I hadn't heard of it,” she said. “Shame on me, our English education, and my children raised and some of them born in America. None of us were told about this 'Lost Colony.'"

Just as the story surprised Redgrave, her appearance in the show surprised the cast.

Redgrave admitted that she had never heard the tale of the Lost Colony prior to her Manteo run.

"I was blown away,” said cast member Danelle Wildermuth. “It's such a wonderful opportunity. She's just amazing to watch. We were so wrapped up in her performance, we fell silent watching her."
