'Hurricane Diane'

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Mar 20, 2019

Playwright Madeleine George, director Leigh Silverman, and actor Becca Blackwell join us to discuss the play, “Hurricane Diane,” which runs through this weekend at the New York Theatre Workshop presented in a co-production with WP Theater. The play is inspired by the story of the Dionysus -- the greek god of fertility, wine, and religious ecstasy -- who lured his followers into a state of chaos and indulgence.

 

This segment is guest-hosted by Shumita Basu.
