[T]o say that Kate Mulgrew is "in a good place" right now would be an understatement. Given that she's starring in Iphigenia 2.0, Chuck Mee's free-wheeling modern take on Euripides, at the Signature Theatre, you might even call it a tragic understatement.

During her seven-year tenure as Kathryn Janeway, captain of the starship U.S.S. Voyager on Star Trek: Voyager, actor Kate Mulgrew was spirited and tough. She had to be: Leading a disgruntled crew back to Earth from the far reaches of the uncharted Delta Quadrant was a task of truly Vulcanic proportions. At the same time, there was great warmth in Mulgrew's portrayal. As the only female to have helmed a Star Trek vessel in the franchise's 39-year history, Mulgrew once commented on her character's unique complexity: "Beneath Capt. Janeway's extraordinary control runs a very deep vein of vulnerability and sensitivity. She is the quintessential woman of the future -- both commanding and discerning."
