Childe Byron
I've been really busy... which is why I never seem to post anything aside from show announcements these days. I've worked really hard on this next show, which opens tomorrow night at Allens Lane Theatre. The subject has captured my imagination, as she can not fail to capture yours, if you know anything about her life. Ada, Countess of Lovelace, was the legitimate daughter of rockstar poet, Lord Byron, and mathematician, Annabella Milbanke... and a gifted mathematician and scientist in her own right, widely credited with being the first computer programmer for her work with Charles Babbage on the Analytical Engine.
She was a complex and gifted woman who died of cancer at the age of 36... the same age Byron was when he died, and the age his father was before him. The play takes place on the last day of her life as she wildly tries to make sense of her life and the life of the father she never knew.
Chris Braak plays Lord Byron, and Shamus Hunter McCarty plays him as a young boy. More pictures of other cast mates to come soon.
