The Direct Approach

with Becky Hope-Palmer

One scene, three directors, six actors. Director Becky Hope-Palmer will help three directors explore a scene of new writing that has never been staged before, in three different interpretations. With two actors each, this is a chance to direct some new work and explore dramaturgical skill without the pressure of a production to ultimately learn from each other and your different interpretations of text.
