Anyone fortunate enough to have seen “Blind Date” has already met Rebecca Northan, although speaking with her is an altogether calmer experience than watching her interact with an audience. Speaking with her from Edmonton, where she was on tour with “Goblin: Macbeth”, I learned that clown work is merely one of many skills that Rebecca has developed throughout her career.
Second City, in Toronto and on tour, was her opportunity to refine both her writing and her audience engagement chops. And as an actor, i.e., one who can actually learn others’ lines of dialogue and create a character without a red nose, Rebecca is as committed and focussed as she is when she is creating her own work and, by extension, her own world.
