The Good and The True, DR2


“( Hannah )Scott matches Reichlin's high bar, delivering an impressively nuanced performance without the same benefit that time has afforded her costar. Due to international red tape and a work-visa catastrophe, the part of Hana Pravda, which was originally to be played by Pravda's real-life granddaughter Isobel Pravda, was handed to Scott just days ago. She has taken up this fresh material and shaped Pravda into a character whose transition from childhood as an aspiring young actress into adulthood as a seasoned performer, hardened by her torturous experiences, takes on a robust, three-dimensional life. She speaks with a soft sweetness that nevertheless conveys a substantial depth of wisdom, though a wisdom achieved through the most unfortunate of circumstances. While the production's logistical challenges were unanticipated and certainly unwelcome, they are almost poetically fitting for this triumphant piece. In the face of adversity, goodness and truth have once again prevailed.”

“Ms. Scott is a late addition to the cast, recruited when a visa snag delayed the British actress Isobel Pravda, Hana Pravda’s granddaughter. Ms. Scott learned the role in just a few days and may well grow into it, given time.” - THE NEW YORK TIMES

 "While we're saddened by the unforeseen issues with Isobel Pravda's work visa, I am so pleased that Hannah Scott has stepped up to take on this wonderfully complex and challenging role," said lead producer Brian Daniels in a statement. "In a matter of only three short days, Ms. Scott managed to learn the entire part — a full 18 monologues — and was completely off-book as of yesterday afternoon's final dress rehearsal! It was her incredible discipline and remarkable interpretation of Hana Pravda that gave us all the confidence to commence preview performances last night. She is the consummate professional, and it shows!'  - PLAYBILL

Nobody is weak, and I particularly admired the effortless clarity shown...Hannah Scott as the indignant, ardent Katya.

​Butoh Electra

“Butoh Electra was purely Fringe - an intriguing concept pushed to the edge of possibility, if not quite over the top of it. Hannah Scott, who plays Electra, is a total badass!”  - FRINGE NYC

“A beautiful, cohesive interpretation of the ancient text” NYTHEATRE.COM

“Butoh Electra features some fantastic practitioners of the titular Japanese movement form... The chorus of four women ... embodied Electra’s struggle with a risky physical vulnerability... I hope this company continues to produce work using Butoh.”- NYTHEATRE.COM
