Episode #210 - Time Is the Mercy of Eternity
Martin Denton is joined by Deb Margolin, playwright of Time Is the Mercy of Eternity, and Constance Zaytoun of Purple Man Theater, co-producer with Six Figures Theatre Company of this new play.
As Deb explains the play is actually made up of four short plays but they share a common thread. Deb knows exactly what her play is about and why she wrote it and what she feels its importance is. She explains this most interestingly to the listening audience emphasizing that, although it deals with serious topics, there is much humor in it.
Constance, who knows Deb’s work well, talks about putting the play up and gives a bit of background about her theater company. She explains a bit about the casting in that the play has a cast of four but, except for the opening piece, two or three people appear in each of the segments.
Deb talks about why she writes plays about people she dislikes or doesn’t understand. Listen and you will get a great deal of insight about the mind of a successful playwright and you might even learn a bit about writing a play since Deb is also a university professor of playwriting.
