Also also, Act II has that great moment where Lady Percy tears her father-in-law a new one. I adore that. I played Lady P for an audio production once and doing that was this really heady mix of energizing and totally draining. I am so glad you mentioned that! It really is a fantastic part to play :-)

(And her launching into Northumberland is one of the best moments in the play - because it's what you would have expected of the old Kate, and to see her unbroken by her loss yet still grieving, and using that grief - truly wonderful.
