The Power Issue 2014: People Are Talking About Adrian Lester

"I get up on a stage and I speak his words.  That's my job."

Whether I was dancing, singing, or acting, I had the fortune of growing up as a child at home when on stage in front of hundreds if not thousands of people.  I've always had a soft spot for theater, which is why this article about the up-and-coming Adrian Lester caught my eye.

In the late 90's and early 2000's, Lester made a great impression on the English stage with his award-winning performances in Sweeney Todd, As You Like It, and Company.  He is now due to grace the American stage in New York with Indhu Rubasinngham's production of Red Velvet, a play written by his own wife, Lolita Chakrabarti.
