Episode Synopsis

In this episode of The Roundtable with Robert Bannon, I sit down with award-winning actor Melina Farahani, whose bold new performance in Blackbird at Theatre Row finds her navigating a haunting role steeped in memory and moral complexity. With a background in both London and Los Angeles, and fluency in English and Farsi, Melina brings a unique intensity and global perspective to a story that resonates deeply with themes of accountability, identity and the echoes of our past.

During our conversation we dive into how she prepared for the challenge of one of theatre’s most demanding roles, what drew her to this moment in her career, and how off-stage experiences in her life inform her portrayal. Get ready for laughter, emotional insight and a glimpse behind the curtain of a production that’s already creating buzz in New York theatre circles.
