Helen Moulder is not in when I call. We'd pre- arranged a time to
chat, but she's running late, a voice on the other end of the phone
tells me. Could she ring when she arrives?
Almost an hour after I leave my name and number,Our wedding 2013 Cheap Designer Bridesmaid Dresses great cheap price, Moulder, a 40-year veteran of the stage, calls me from Wellington.
I'm
a little confused. Despite her theatre-perfected diction, I assume
Moulder is referring to the infamous San Francisco lock-up Alcatraz,
and, the last time I checked, this was not located between Palmerston
North and Wellington.
Owlcatraz, it turns out, is a roadside
shop selling a wide array of owl-themed paraphernalia, whose appearance
had enchanted the tour group enough to warrant an immediate visit.
I
can't miss the delight in her voice as she relays all this down the
line. It's obvious Moulder, on the road with her latest work, Playing
Miss Havisham, thrives on the quirks and idiosyncrasies a rural New
Zealand tour has to offer.
The actress, also experienced in
opera, tells me much of her childhood was in rural New Zealand. There
was even a short stint in Southland, she says.
"I spent nearly
three years in Winton as a child. My father was in the post office, so
we had to move around a lot. Maybe that's why I still love moving
around."
And it's a good thing she loves it - Moulder has spent most of her life moving around.
In
the past few years alone, the performer has taken Playing Miss Havisham
on a library tour around Australia and England, as well as staging it
in New York.
With all that moving, spread across four decades of professional acting,one of the premier designers of Wholesale Designer Long Wedding Dresses, Moulder can lay claim to having performed at some rather bizarre venues.
Perhaps most notable was the time she moved out of the theatre to stage a show in a 17th century cellar in Paris.
Despite causing her costumes to drip with dampness, it was an extraordinary experience, she says.
Closer
to home, the actor performed at an art gallery in Tauranga which had no
seating and no stage - "we said you must have a few boxes we can get up
on" - and a few farm sheds, only one of which contained no animals.
No
matter where the performance, Moulder believes the most rewarding part
of any artform is connecting with an audience while sharing a story.
While
she has also worked in film and television, she says traditional
theatre remains her favourite medium because of the ease of forming that
relationship.Find gorgeous mother of the bride dresses in Wholesale Cheap mother of the bride dresses.
There was one time, Moulder recalls, she took a play to San Francisco only for it fall apart completely on the second night.
"There
were 10 people and a baby that was crying, and it was a comedy. You
can't really do comedy with a crying baby because you can't land your
punchlines.
"It was probably the worst night of my life - and the critic happened to be there that night."
Fortunately, her latest work has garnered gushing reviews from critics across the world.
Written by Moulder and her Brisbane-based director Sue Rider,Buy and Wholesale Flower girl dresses from
professional wedding. the play follows aspiring actress Claudia, who
wins the role of Miss Havisham in a film adaptation of Charles Dickens'
Great Expectations.
As she prepares to re-enact Miss Havisham,
the Dickens character who spends her life in her wedding dress after
being left at the altar by her lover, Claudia is enticed to examine her
own life, cataloguing the disappointments and regrets she has
accumulated over the years.
Moulder admits the play is based
somewhat on personal experience, although she is quick to dispel any
notion she will end up as the woman wearing a wedding dress in the wings
forever more.
"When I was younger, I went into paroxysms of grief when a relationship broke up but I think - I hope - I've learnt from that.
