“I always seem to understand such characters’ point of view. It’s never forgivable but it can be understandable. From Annie’s point of view, this situation is a love story. She just happens to be obsessively in love. She really does have a strong sense of right and wrong, but it is very skewed and she takes every step too far.”Tim Nguyen Co“She stumbles upon him near death in the storm. Rescuing her idol makes her the heroine of her own love story.
“Kathy Bates made this role iconic. She really put her stamp on it. For this stage version, William Goldman takes out any reference to her size and replaces it with her maniacal determination. By removing any reference to Annie’s girth, Goldman has opened the casting possibilities and I’m grateful for that.”Laurie Metcalf played Annie opposite Bruce Willis in a Broadway version in 2015. Haysam Kadri is Cummer’s hapless victim in the Vertigo production that runs until Oct. 15.
