The production features Diane Venora (Bird, Romeo + Juliet) as Sarah Bernhardt. In addition to Venora, the cast features Nick BoraIne (Homeland, Paradise Stop) as Louis, Alan Cox (The Dictator, Young Sherlock Holmes) as Constant Coquelin, Isaiah Johnson (Hamilton, David Makes Man) as Edmond Rostand, Shyla Lefner (Between Two Knees, The Way the Mountain Moved) as Rosamond, Raymond McAnally (Size Matters, Marvelous and the Black Hole) as Raoul, Rosencrantz, and others, Levenix Riddle (The Chi, Carlyle) as Francois, Guildenstern, and others, Paul David Story (The Caine Mutiny Court Martial, Equus) as Maurice, Lucas Verbrugghe (Icebergs, Lazy Eye) as Alphonse Mucha and Grace Yoo (Into The Woods, Root Beer Bandits) as Lysette. It’s 1899, and the legendary Sarah Bernhardt shocks the world by taking on the lead role in Hamlet. While her performance is destined to become one for the ages, Sarah first has to conVince a sea of naysayers that her right to play the part should be based on ability, not gender—a feat as difficult as mastering Shakespeare’s most Verbose tragic hero. -

O Pozo da Revolta, parroquia de Mogor, Ma- rín. Na luz borrallenta da madrugada un mariñeiro de dezasete anos prepara a súa barca. Xurdindo da brétema unha visión estarrecedora. A muller ía descalza e levaba o camisón manchado de sangue. Tamén as mans, e talvez por iso puido virlle á cabeza o día, había dous anos, no que o congro lle arrincara os dedos. Mais o sangue fluía do peito, dun ombro, a muller tiña todos os dedos nas mans que retorcía ansiosamente.

Marilar Aleixandre, acompañada por membros do plenario da institución, tras o discurso de ingreso como académica de número da Real Academia Galega (RAG)1 1 As fotos que ilustran a conversa proceden do Arquivo da Real Academia Galega. Agradecemos as facilidades dadas para a súa reprodución. Boletín Galego de Literatura, nº 50 / 1º semestre (2017) / ISSN 0214-9117 De Marilar Aleixandre podemos empezar dicindo que se trata dunha das escritoras galegas de máis longa traxectoria. Traduciu libros ao galego e pu- blicou en todos os xéneros, mesmo nos híbridos con música, fotografía ou banda deseñada. Comezou na Literatura Infantil e Xuvenil, onde pronto se consagrou con abondosos lectores, premios de prestixio e frecuentes tradu- cións. Salientan as súas narracións de aventuras con protagonismo feminino, intriga ben dosificada e unha axilidade non doada de conseguir nun campo no que a función didáctica ten que existir pero nunca notarse. Aleixandre sábeo e practícao en contos e novelas, e mesmo en pezas para monicreques. Se tivé- semos que apuntar algún título para ilustrar o dito, elexiriamos A Expedición do Pacífico (1994) ou A banda sen futuro (1999). Na narrativa fantástica, Marilar Aleixandre revélase como importante cul- tivadora dunha liña presente desde vello na narrativa galega. Velaí a novela Tránsito dos gramáticos (1993), que leva os lectores por escenarios de Santiago de Compostela, ou os contos de O coitelo en novembro (2010) que pola vía do fantástico os conducen ao mundo da resistencia antifascista ou das palabras que se erguen como personaxes. -
