| Clearly, perfect casting. |
HID: Hi, Greg! First thing's first, what's Berowne's favorite color, and why?
GP: Berowne's favorite color would have to be yellow, or bright orange/red because he talks about light & the sun throughout the play. Or maybe it's the color of Rosaline's eyes which are … wait I know this one.
HID: Let's move on. Berowne’s a very learned man who likes to advise and lecture others. If he were a schoolteacher, what would he teach?
GP: I'd like to think that Berowne is the substitute teacher that comes in & gives the classroom life again. He'd probably teach English, with his wit & wordplay it would be a fun subject to teach - but he wouldn't just teach it or give lectures. I'd like to believe Berowne is the guy who instead teaching about a war, he has his students battle it out with Super Soakers. Instead of teaching about music he brings in his electric guitar & melts their faces off. He's like Dead Poets Society meets Dangerous Minds meets School of Rock!
HID: Berowne also has a lot of long soliloquies. Are there any times in your life when you talk to yourself more than usual?
GP: Well I've been caught at work a few times now. I cater for a bunch of companies in the city & one time we were at someone's house deep in Brooklyn, for a business meeting or maybe an engagement party or bar mitzvah (they all blend together after a while) - but my boss Alan came over, nice guy, & in the softest, kindest voice says, "Greg, you look like a crazy person. Stop staring at the wall & talking to yourself. The wall ain't gonna talk back to ya."
HID: We’ve noticed you (Greg) are a big Marvel superheroes fan. If Berowne were the sidekick for a Marvel superhero, who would it be and why?
GP: WARNING NERD POST AHEAD:
Ok obviously if you know me I'd like to say Spidey, because he's the answer for everything - or Thor because …well, its THOR - but I think Berowne would be a funnier version of War Machine.
Here's why: first off Iron Man/ Tony Stark is Berowne. He's witty, a player, an intellectual, a leader within having another leader (Cap or Nick Fury), a lover at heart, acts quickly & passionately - he's Iron Man. So if he had to be a sidekick he'd be Rhodey, or War Machine. But I might rename him to give him his own persona like Iron Wit, the Metal Jester, or Copper Whip…which are all terrible names. Lol
HID: Anything else we need to know about you or the show itself?
GP: If you've ever acted foolishly being so in love, or want to watch others act foolishly cause they are in love - Come See This Show!
If you love 90's music -
Come See This Show!
If you like Superheroes…well there aren't any in this show, But we can talk after, so

Seriously, I laugh every single day in rehearsal - if you like to laugh, come see this show !
See you soon ! :)
