Dramaturg and University of Chicago lecturer Derek Matson ( Photograph 51 , The Mousetrap ) digs into the multitudinous themes and histories that make Churchill’s play tick, offering insight into how this type of research informs the creative process and how dramaturgy is conducted in the theatre. Jeff Award-winning director Vanessa Stalling ( Photograph 51 ) will join Matson in these conversations to discuss how dramaturgy fuels her own work as an artist.

Quick character descriptions: PARIS: 10 to 14-years-old, energetic, a natural leader who lives to roller skate with her crew.  GIGI: 13-17-years-old is a black plus-sized girl. She has great style and a great attitude. She always brings her “can’t keep me down” energy to everything she does. Her body positivity is inspiring.

The Show Must Go Online has produced weekly performed readings of the Complete Plays of Shakespeare with a global cast in the order they were believed to have been written. Every show was produced, cast, rehearsed and performed in a single week, with just two and a half days of rehearsal. Every show is available on their YouTube channel as part of their commitment to making Shakespeare for everyone, for free, forever. I was truly honored to work with this amazing cast & crew of humans. <3
