Today, I’m so excited to announce my episode with distinguished playwright and libretttist David Henry Hwang. Tune in to hear some of the stories of his legendary career, including being discovered by Joseph Papp, training with Sam Shepard, reading M. Butterfly with John Dexter, collaborating with Philip Glass, revising the book for Aida, why Face Value couldn’t achieve success on Broadway, the advice he got on what makes a Broadway play, and so much more. You won’t want to miss this in-depth conversation with one of the greatest minds in theater.
