Episode #213 - Me: The New Bromley Play from Inverse Theater
Kirk Wood Bromley’s newest play is entitled Me and, as the name suggests, it is autobiographical. And it is a play with music and song. To discuss this further Martin Denton is joined by Kirk and the show’s composer, John Gideon.
Kirk relates how the play is autobiographical but also a stepping stone to other topics that are of interest to him. The play talks of fish and dolphins, life inside the womb, the Yangtze River and more. John talks of the kinds of music he has composed — eclectic is his word — ranging from Pete Seeger to gospel chorales. Interspersed is talk of casting the show, John’s background and how he became a member of Inverse Theater, and a bit of philosophical musing by Kirk.
