Interviews with directors

7/15/2017

We opened Love's Labour's Lost last week.

Here's an interview with Matt Davies, the director for that play.

"Romantic comedies work best when the audience is playing catch-up, just one step behind the love trysts and the comic shenanigans, and panting in excitement to keep up.  Put on your running shoes, and tune your ears: you’re in for a frantic feast of wit, wisdom, and waggery."



And here's an interview with Jenny Bennett, who directed Much Ado about Nothing.

"Another thing that I love about this play is the notion that since we’re all invented out of nothing, we can reinvent ourselves out of nothing, too.  Several people in this play are confronted with a rebuke of who they are, or how they’ve been behaving – they overhear people talking about them or are directly told they’ve made a terrible error.  The real mettle of a person is revealed by what they choose to do with that information.  Grace is available to those who take action to repair what’s broken, to be available to Love, to be ‘good men, and true.’  Along these lines, I’m quite fond of our 5.3 Tomb scene.  Chris Johnston, Music Director, wrote the most beautiful song.  I won’t spoil it here, but I hope you love it as much as I do."


These are two smart folks with lovely things to say about these Shakespeare comedies.

Both plays are running in rep with Peter and the Starcatcher at the American Shakespeare Center in Staunton, VA.
