“It’s a complete thrill. I did my first play in decades this summer at the Old Globe Theater in San Diego and at the time of my life and it made me remember why I love acting,” said Malina. “Not that I’ve soured on it, but I’ve just been doing TV for a very long time and the thrill of doing a play was just revelatory to me.”
“Leopolstadt” is set in 1899 Vienna and follows a Jewish family over the course of 50 years. Malina plays Hermann Merz, who was born Jewish and is a textile factory owner. The play follows Merz and his family as they navigate life and anti-Semitism, Viennese culture and two World Wars. “Coming into a play that’s already been established as someone who’s taking over a role is hugely intimidating. It’s very daunting and I feel like I took the job before I allowed myself to really think about what it was because right now, it’s a cast of about 38, and everyone is performing at top level,” said Malina. “The thing is like a well-oiled machine and my job is to drop into this great ensemble and try not to gum up the works.
Malina also noted that though there is a heaviness to the subject matter explored in this play, there are moments of light along the way.
