Episode 47 – How Many Threads are Woven to Create and Execute a Play: “Eleanor and Alice”
How many threads are woven to created and execute a Play. After attending the play Eleanor and Alice, Larry is joined by the playwright Ellen Abrams, Director Frances Hill, Actress Trezana Beverly (who plays Eleanor Roosevelt), and Mary Bacon (who plays Alice Roosevelt). The play is in 8 acts and follows these two iconic wives through the 20th century.
Larry discusses what it is like to see a person’s written word come to life on the stage, the thought process of the actors, whether there is a rhythm to both writing and acting and why this play is rather unique (which is based in fact but is written in the spirit of history).
