Meet the cast and crew of Agnes de Castro!
Rosa Nguyen (Agnes de Castro) might not be a 14th-century co**se queen who was dug up for her coronation, but she is a (currently living) actor who has been active in Rhode Island theater for the past three years. Previous roles include Christmas Eve (Avenue Q) and Lysette (Bernhardt/Hamlet) at The Players at The Barker Playhouse; Daisy (A Twisted Christmas Carol) and Avis the Aviatrix (Cosmo St. Charles Is Dead) at The Newport Playhouse and Cabaret Restaurant; Denise (Lampedusa), Quincy/Lisa Simpson (Mr. Burns: a Post-Apocalyptic Play), Hermia (A Midsummer Night’s Dream), and Mistress Page (The Merry Wives of Windsor) at The Contemporary Theater Company; Beatrice (Much Ado About Nothing) and Aufidius (Coriolanus) with Community College of Rhode Island Players; and Roxy (Poly Play) at the Brown Arts Institute’s Annual Staff Art Exhibition. She rejoins Head Trick Theatre for her second collaboration of the season, after having played First Actor/Officer in Dr. Korczak and the Children. Rosa majored in English at Yale University, and when she is not acting in plays, she is writing them. When Rosa dies, she gives her full consent to be posthumously crowned Queen of Portugal, or to bind her future novel in her own skin and donate it to the Beinecke Library.
Final weekend to see everyone be obsessed with Rosa's character, now through March 22 only!
