Sanaa Lathan is over in London flexing her broadway skills in the play “Cat On a Tin Roof” by Tennessee Williams. In an recent interview, she speaks on what it’s like having a role in a play that was written for an all white cast.

Flip the Lid for a Peek…

Sanaa Lathan…

*I am my instrument, you can’t just leave yourself behind. There’s a little of me in every character…. and yet… well-written characters have their own spirit about them.

*You don’t want the role that’s always written for a black woman because it just limits your choices; and that’s just the world that we live in today. I think it’s slowly changing…

*I just wanna keep on being challenged… be scared a little, push myself out of my comfort zone; I think that’s how you grow… It’s not always the most comfortable thing to do, but that’s always been my philosophy.
