Listen "The Resident Acting Company's A Midsummer Night's Dream"
Episode Synopsis
This week on Curtain Call, Tom sits down with veteran actor, playwright, and director Austin Pendleton, along with Bradford Cover, Artistic Director of The Resident Acting Company (RAC), to explore their imaginative new production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. In this inventive staging, RAC’s ensemble of seasoned actors turns Shakespeare’s classic upside down — reimagining the play through the eyes of the “rude mechanicals,” the bumbling amateur players whose theatrical mishaps take center stage. Together, Pendleton and Cover reflect on the founding of The Resident Acting Company and how their shared mission to create ensemble-based, actor-driven theatre has led to this bold new production.
