André Gregory and Wallace Shawn on Creativity and Collaboration

When André Gregory and Wallace Shawn—theater directors, writers, actors, and longtime friends—sat down for a stimulating meal in 1981’s My Dinner with André, they launched a film collaboration that flourished for decades. On June 16, Criterion will release that film, as well as 1994’s Vanya on 42nd Street, a passionate read-through of Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya, and 2014’s Henrik Ibsen interpretation, A Master Builder. The two will discuss their films, and their relationship both on and off the screen.
