Golda is “ten times more human”

Annette Miller is back on stage as Golda Meir in William Gibson’s Golda’s Balcony, playing just two more weeks in the Elayne P. Bernstein Theatre. Her performance has been praised as “involving and enlightening” by Variety and “amazing”  by the Boston Globe.

Reviewer Peter Bergman (the North Adams Transcript and the Advocate), who saw Annette as Golda when she originated the role here seven years ago, had the following to say about this summer’s production:

Annette Miller frightens me. Seven years ago she took on the role of Golda Meir and I thought her performance perfect. Now, as part of the Diva Series at Shakespeare and Company, here is Annette Miller once again, reprising Golda Meir and making her ten times more human, fifty times more intimidating and altogether far too real. There is something superhuman in that ability to recreate something and do it even better. Here is no Carol Channing act with exactly the same gestures, inflections and rhythms. Here is life breathing on an enlarged soapbox. (Read the full review)
