Looking for Riches in All the Wrong Places

The Leonard Lopate Show | Jul 14, 2014

Gus Kaikkonen discusses translating and directing Jules Romains' comedy "Donogoo" at the Mint. He's joined by scenic designer Roger Hanna. "Donogoo" tells the story of Le Trouhadec, a professor of geography who unwittingly sets in motion a stock market swindle of global proportions. Investors, pioneers and prospectors alike are driven to seek their fortune in Donogoo, a place that doesn't exist—or does it? "Donogoo" is playing at the Mint Theater through July 27.
