This film is proof that when you get the right people in the room good things are going to happen. These actors have been in the right room together for over 20 years and something great happened. The first time I saw this film, I watched as an audience member. Getting to know these characters who sustain themselves off of coffee and trivial games. Cheering for Mary to find something remarkable on the other side of the train tracks (if only she'd risk it)! But the second time I watched the film, I watched as an actor. The work by the artists in King of Herrings is so effortless while the characters are so detailed- it's like watching magic.
This film makes you want to be in the room with these artists.
