What this episode covers
Jake Brasch joins the podcast to talk all things The Reservoir, a new play running at the Atlantic Theater Company. How do you navigate writing an autobiographical-ish play? How do you strike the balance between entertaining and educating audiences when it comes to topics like recovery and memory less? What's it like to have five productions of a debut play in just over a year? (And who are some other playwrights deserving of that kind of theatrical rollout?!) Don't miss this deep dive on The Present Stage!
