And We're Back... The Tender King

On Monday we started rehearsals for The Tender King... a sexy, provocative, and controversial thriller about secret politics at the end of World War Two. It's derived from hundreds of declassified documents from the Truman era, as well as biographies, memos, and letters. Join us for a peek behind the political curtain-- you can start with our promo clip and first rehearsal:

On Directing as the Playwright

We're entering a more frenetic time, production-wise. The flurry of activity and tension is due to the fact we're scheduled to film the video segments of the play this weekend-- and thus need costumes, lines, and scene work to be spot on-- and also because we're about two rehearsal days behind where I'd like to be. It's unusual for me; most of the time I'm able to pace the process more closely, but so many elements (and as I've said before, so much physical movement) have made it more difficult. Yesterday was the first formal "off book" day. It was rough, but in general they did pretty well. There are glimmers of beauty, but a lot of mud to clean up. So I thought I'd talk about my approach to directing, particularly as it relates to the strengths and weaknesses of being the playwright.
