What this episode covers
Mona Pirnot is BACK on the podcast and this time, she's written a solo play performed by the playwright-performer David Greenspan about a playwright named Mona writing a play to be performed by the playwright-performer David Greenspan. This is the ultimate playwright's play that digs into what it means to dedicate yourself to writing for the stage and whether that's ultimately an act of self-sacrifice or self-aggrandizement or both or something in between. We get into all of it (and more!) this week on The Present Stage!!
