Turning Points: Keeping an audience engaged in a two character play
The Tony Award winning director David Grindley leads a session looking at overcoming the difficulties posed by a drama that has only one location, two characters and provocative subject matter. Talking about his experience directing Blackbird, David will discuss how the director and cast ensure they hold the audience’s attention throughout the play’s 90 minutes.
David Grindley is one of life’s enthusiasts. He positively gushes his views, always constructive, on a variety of subjects. Stage
