Today, I’m thrilled to announce my interview with Pulitzer Prize finalist Amy Herzog. Tune in to hear some of the stories of her legendary career, including writing about her grandmother in 4000 MILES, why AFTER THE REVOLUTION was a bigger play than she usually writes, how Ibsen inspired her play BELLEVILLE, the complexities of telling her own story MARY JANE, what Carrie Coon and Rachel McAdams brought to the title role, working with Jeremy Strong on AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE, creating the protagonist of THE GREAT GOD PAN, a valuable lesson from an organic chemistry professor, some of her favorite “play carcasses,” what had to be cut from A DOLL’S HOUSE, her work with her husband, Sam Gold, deciding how to end her plays, exploring the horror genre, the role of a writer in film and TV, her current work adapting CROSSROADS, and so much more. Don’t miss this masterclass in playwriting with one of America's best.
