What this episode covers
Join Pulitzer, Tony, and Oscar-winning playwright and screenwriter John Patrick Shanley on The Present Stage for a delightful conversation about his two plays currently running concurrently in New York: the off-Broadway premiere of Brooklyn Laundry and the Broadway revival of Doubt. We'll dive into how it feels to have to two shows open in NYC in the same week, what these two plays written twenty years apart might have in common, and why Shanley invited readers of Doubt's published script to email him their reactions and feedback.
