Sybille Bruun

It's been a tremendous season for that tall, slender Dane with the English accent. Sybille Bruun not only was a wry and delicate Heidi Holland in Live Theatre Workshop's Heidi Chronicles, but she deftly portrayed a narcissistic nouvelle-riche socialite and baby killer in No Exit; breezed through five different cameo roles in Later Life, one of Invisible Theatre's best shows of the year; and was a truly scary and sexy Lady Macbeth in free Shakespeare performances she co-organized in Reid Park last spring. And beyond all that, she and Matt Walley created a new late-night theater and concert series called "Etcetera" at Live Theatre Workshop, offering edgier fare than you can see elsewhere in town. Let's hope Bruun can't sing, too; she'd collapse under the burden of her talent.
