Actor Karin de la Penha admits she has "never been particularly enthusiastic" about writing a solo show for herself. So when she read the casting notice in Back Stage last year for "The Fly in the Fridge," a one-person play—based on a young woman's life of prostitution, drug addiction, and eventual redemption—the U.K. native thought this might be her shot at doing one. After reading the script, she was more intrigued by it."It's a very muscular and at times extremely dark script that really wrestles with some rough stuff," says de la Penha. "And I thought the very fact that it makes my stomach flip over means that I should audition for it, because it's very challenging stuff. I had no idea if I had the chops to live in these characters and bring them to life, but I knew that I wanted to give it a whirl.
