Hideki Noda
Hunter's portrayal of Lear conscientiously challenged the audience to separate character and performer: her voice and clothing read as male, but she physicalized lines such as "Down from the waist they are Centaurs/Though women all above" to remind the audience of the female body playing the part. Another male role she played was in "The Bee", directed by Hideki Noda, which played at the Soho Theatre in June 2006 and 2012.
