The Leonard Lopate Show | Feb 29, 2016

Oscar and Tony Award-winning actor Mark Rylance discusses his new play “Nice Fish,” which he co-wrote with poet Louis Jenkins. He's joined by co-star Jim Lichtscheidl and director Claire van Kampen. The play takes place on a frozen lake in Minnesota towards the end of ice-fishing season. As the ice begins to crack, the two fisherman enter into a surreal discourse over the meaning of life.
