What this episode covers
MacArthur Fellow Samuel D. Hunter joins the podcast to talk about his latest play Grangeville. In this conversation, we tackle the playwright's distinctive style and tempo, how he finds the right director for a new work, why a "small" play can fill a big space, and how — like his artist character Arnie — his depictions of rural Idaho have been misread or misunderstood in the past. Don't miss this exciting chat with a prolific playwright!
