I’m going to watch it another time before I give up on it, but so far I’m not a fan.Susannah Flood, Lee Roy Rogers, and Dina Thomas will join the cast of Nina Raine's Tribes at the Barrow Street Theatre in September. The characters were rushed, driven and ambitious. Talent like that ought to be able to create an interest in me. The cast includes Britt Robertson, Wesam Keesh, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Susannah Flood, Anna Deavere Smith, Ben Rappaport, Vondie Curtis-Hall, and Ben Shenkman.

That story line turned out to be disappointingly thin. I was originally interested in it because Nicola Walker played a lesbian vicar. Bring it on!Ĭollateral is a British series. Collateral Nicola Walker as a lesbian vicar. This edition will talk about Collateral, Rise, and For the People.
