Artist Encounter: Making Theater During Wartime

Meet American playwright and director Richard Nelson and six young actresses from Ukraine and hear about their experiences rehearsing a play in Kyiv.

 

Last winter, Nelson directed a play for Theater on Podil, one of the most prestigious theaters in Ukraine, about a production of Macbeth outside Kyiv in 1920. “I wanted to write a play about six young women putting on a play in the middle of a war,” Nelson says, “to be performed by six young women putting on my play in the middle of a war.”
