Birce Akalay admitted that the play “Pride and Prejudice (or something like that),” where she plays Elizabeth and also sings, has brought her more and more satisfaction since the very beginning. “I know for sure that theater makes me a better person,” says the actress. “I do not like to idealize, but the happiest moments of my life are always connected with the stage. This is where I feel the most free. There is nothing that compares to sincere, warm applause. I could describe many things, but not these moments. It is a feeling from childhood, when I first heard laughter or applause from my parents in our living room. It has stayed with me forever.”
