Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues   Todd Haynes Todd Haynes, independent filmmaker, in conversation with host Richard Wolinsky. Recorded February 27, 2025. The director of ten feature length films, Todd Haynes is an independent film-maker with his roots in New Queer Cinema. After coming to the attention of the film community with his short film, Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story, in which the “actors” were Barbie Dolls, he achieved fame with his first feature, Poison, which told three stories in different ways, all of which commented on the AIDS epidemic. He followed that with the much-lauded Safe, and then moved on to mainstream success with the lush melodrama, Far from Heaven. His later films include Velvet Goldmine, focusing on the glam rock era, I'm Not There, in which several actors portrayed Bob Dylan, Carol, Dark Waters, Wonderstruck, and his latest film, May December (Netflix). His documentary, Velvet Underground, is available on Apple Plus. Along the way there was a miniseries, Mildred Pierce, starring Kate Winslet, on HBO (streaming on MAX). All his films are available streaming. The films of Todd Haynes will be shown in a retrospective, “Todd Haynes: Far From Safe,”  through April 12th at BAMPFA, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive.

Winner of the Obie Award for Excellence in Playwriting and the Outer Circle Critics Award for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Play Twenty years ago, Pastor Paul's church was nothing more than a modest storefront. Now he presides over a congregation of thousands. But Paul is about to preach a sermon that will shake the foundations of his church's belief. A big-little play about faith in America This award-winning play masterfully examines the price of conviction and the complexities of changing one's mind. Lucas Hnath's works include A DOLL'S HOUSE, PART 2 and HILLARY AND CLINTON which were produced on Broadway at the John Golden Theatre. "A smart, stimulating play…Mr. Hnath grants his characters the dignity of sincere belief, even as his play raises probing questions. Mr. Hnath is quickly emerging as one of the brightest new voices of his generation.” — New York Times This is the company's second production of a Lucas Hnath play. In 2017 NHTC mounted a critically acclaimed production of Hnath's A PUBLIC READING OF AN UNPRODUCED SCREENPLAY ABOUT THE DEATH OF WALT DISNEY. THE CHRISTIANS is directed by Deena Nicol-Blifford, who appeared in the NHTC hit production of CRY IT OUT last season and whose prior directing credits with the company include Conor McPherson's THE SEAFARER. The cast includes company members Susan Kulp, Margaret Mann, Marty Tucker, and J. Kevin Smith, and visiting artist Gavin Whelan. ​​Performances for THE CHRISTIANS will take place on the NHTC Stage in the back of EBM Vintage, 839 Chapel Street, New Haven. Performance dates are February 27 and March 6 at 7:30 p.m., and February 28, and March 1, 7, and 8 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25. https://www.newhaventheatercompany.com/

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues   Susanna Clarke: “Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell.” Susanna Clarke in 2006 Susanna Clarke, author of the classic fantasy novel, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, interviewed September 12, 2005 in the KPFA studios. ​​​​​Back in the fall of 2004, a new fantasy novel, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by a newcomer, Susannah Clarke, became an instant classic, finding its way to best-seller lists in the U.K. and United.States, and winning the Hugo Award for 2004's best novel at the 2005  World Science Fiction Convention. This interview with Susannah Clarke was recorded while on tour for the paperback edition of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, and has not aired in two decades. Both Christopher Hampton and Julian Fellowes took stabs at writing a film adaptation of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, but both were unable to translate the very long novel into a screenplay, and then New Line cancelled the project. It was eventually developed into a seven -part miniseries for the BBC, and aired in both the United States and Britain in 2015. It is now streaming on Amazon Prime. After the publication of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, and the awards, Susannah Clarke continued to work on the sequel, set in the same universe a few years later, but became bogged down, almost sentence by sentence, as chronic fatigue syndrome took its toll. By 2015, after visiting the set of the BBC production, she decided to go another route, and went back to another manuscript that likely pre-dated her best-seller. That novel, Piranesi, was published to mostly favorable reviews in 2020. She is now working on a third novel.

Starring Eoin O'Reilly, Conor McPherson's "Rum and Vodka" is a classic tale of booze and all of the debauchery we can all fall victim to within the grind of big city life, and it comes to Cork city this summer in this electrifying new production of the beloved one man show. A young man feeling trapped by the responsibilities that come with being a good father and a loyal husband, attempts to break free from his monotonous 9-5 existence by igniting a three day bender through the city, leaving all kinds of chaos in his wake. Conor Tallon spoke to Eoin and director Tommy Daly. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We talked about: Finding community, doing The Stump, Not doing Chandler on “Friends”, the wonderful and difficult friendship of Matthew Perry, doing theater as a kid, “easy” comics who took their time, playing villains, lying about knowing how to ride horses and almost dying on the horse, auditioning by “being that guy” to set you apart, The Great David Pressman, kind hearted Richard Kind, staring in broadway, fear of going out. my writing advice “how much pain can you take?”, always seeking connection. Saying “yes” to opportunities, Craig's dog boo.  Rye New York. Somehow Craig thinks I project warmth and kindness. Windows in school that go all the way to the ground that give kids the confidence to be on the world. Bullies who don't think they are bullies, the gain and loss of choice, and the idea that the journey we are all on must contain random gifts and failures to get us where we are now.  Bio: Craig Bierko made his Tony-nominated Broadway debut as “Professor Harold Hill” in Susan Stroman's Broadway revival of Meredith Willson's The Music Man. A familiar face to Broadway audiences, Craig most recently appeared in Conor McPherson's Girl from the North Country featuring songs by Bob Dylan; as “Sky Masterson” in Des McAnuff's revival of Guys & Dolls, and in Lincoln Center's Thou Shalt Not featuring music by Harry Connick. Craig recently completed the darkly comic feature film D(e)ad. Other film work includes starring opposite Russell Crowe in Ron Howard's Cinderella Man, The Long Kiss Goodnight with Samuel Jackson and Geena Davis, Larry David's cult classic Sour Grapes and Terry Gilliam's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Craig has appeared in numerous TV shows, most recently on the hit Netflix series Sex/Life as well as on the Peabody Award-winning UnREAL. Craig appeared as Carrie Bradshaw's love interest “Ray ‘The Jazz Guy' King” on HBO's iconic Sex and the City.  Craig bathed John Malkovich in his online talk show “Bathing with Bierko” and offers no apologies.

“The difference between stage and screen acting is vast, but it's the same root. It's just some of the techniques are very different. I really know theater because that's where I started. I went at it in a very haphazard way. I had a very haphazard approach. It was not orderly at all. I didn't go to a proper school or anything like that. After fooling around in Europe for almost a couple of years, just because I'd gotten out of the army...and didn't really know what to do or how to do it. And so I just went and while there I did some acting, but nothing very remarkable except doing a nightclub with William Burroughs. That was great fun. I did a little bit of studying here or there...Jeff Corey (and at one class in New York) someone said something that helped me a great deal.

Episode 028: Girl from the North Country by Conor McPherson, music and lyrics by Bob Dylan Host: Douglas Schatz Guest: Conor McPherson Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We'll discuss the play's origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. Girl from the North Country is an extraordinary collaboration between the playwright Conor McPherson and the musician and song writer Bob Dylan. The result is a magical work where McPherson's portrait of families struggling to survive in Depression America is transfigured into an uplifting theatrical experience by the ravishing period arrangements of Dylan's songs. The play opened at the Old Vic Theatre in London in 2017 to a rapturous response and reviews, and was followed by runs in the West End and New York. This is a very special episode, first because I am privileged to talk with none other than the play's author Conor McPherson, and secondly because we have also been given kind permission to include several extracts from the original cast recording of the music from the first London production.

‘Downton Abbey’ leading man Brendan Coyle opens up Conor McPherson’s monologue play 'St Nicholas’: He shares the history of his longstanding love for Conor’s work, talks about making Dame Judi Dench cry and explains why a one-man show is always an ensemble effort. With a special guest appearance from Simon Evans, Brendan's director on 'St Nicholas' and writer/director of BBC/Hulu's Staged. Hosted by Lucy Eaton, West End actress and theatre producer.

Elmarie was personally delighted to be able to meet up with Naomi Daly in the auditorium of the Everyman as it gets ready to reopen after it's longest shutdown it the theatre's history...and just being in the theatre was in itself a source of excitement! The Everyman Announces Programme of Live EventsThe Everyman, MacCurtain Street, Corkwww.everymancork.com The Everyman is delighted to announce a programme of live performance with a mix of rehearsed readings, comedy, and music. The re-opening heralds a new digital direction for the theatre with Play It By Ear, a programme of shows at The Everyman, which are also available live through audio broadcast to be experienced from wherever audiences are.Naomi Daly, Acting Programming Manager at the theatre says, “we are celebrating the voice as we focus on bringing Cork's wealth of local talent back to the stage along with some of our established favourites. It feels great to be turning the lights back on and throwing open the doors after our longest period of closure in over 30 years. We're really excited about this programme and I hope our audiences will agree that we've ‘knocked it out of the Pairc!'”Play it by Ear could be a synonym for ‘to improvise', ‘rise to the occasion' or ‘to think on one's feet'. The Everyman has adapted to the new experience of performance by creating an exciting and innovative programme that highlights the exceptional theatrical talent in Cork. As part of Play It By Ear, The Everyman presents a series of rehearsed readings, opening on October 15th with Marion, by Katie Holly who was this year's ambassador for Cork County Culture Night. Katie says “I am so pleased and proud to be involved in the reopening of The Everyman's programme; a gorgeous, atmospheric venue that encourages and inspires the people within its walls to make great, entertaining, thought-provoking theatre. I'm also delighted to be working with Laura O'Mahony, Tadhg Hickey and Eadaoin O'Donoghue on a reworking of my first professional play 'Marion', which was first produced in 2016 for Cork Midsummer Festival.” The Everyman continues to fly the flag for local theatre makers presenting The Whiteheaded Boy – a comedy in three acts, by Lennox Robinson and directed by Ger Fitzgibbon. Full of twists and turns, ups and downs, and families fighting each other, the play is as relevant today as when it was first performed in 1916. Not only does it reveal the dynamics of a family, but it is also a pointed analysis of Irish culture.Later in the month, Ger FitzGibbon returns with his play The Four Faced Liar, when the voices of the four faces of Shandon Steeple come alive with a commentary on the city's inhabitants below. The final rehearsed reading is the darkly chilling play The Seafarer, by Conor McPherson, directed by John McCarthy. For music lovers there are two spectacular live music shows to look forward to as part of Play It By Ear. Majella Cullagh, one of Ireland's foremost sopranos, returns to The Everyman with songs from the golden age of musical theatre from the genius collaboration of Rodgers and Hammerstein, accompanied on piano by John O'Brien. Feeling Good with Karen Underwood and John O'Brien brings us a night of heart-warming, and roof-raising jazz, soul, and blues with interpretations of the songs of Billie Holliday, Nina Simone, Dinah Washington, Whitney...

Austin chats with me about what it was like to be performing in a new Broadway musical at the time of the shutdown, the benefits of not going the conservatory route, multiple auditions for the musical HAMILTON, learning how to step into Alexander Hamilton’s shoes, what he’s missing the most about playing Joe Scott in GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY, as well as a short passage from Conor McPherson’s stunning script. 

Artemis Fowl (known in certain territories as Artemis Fowl: The Secret World) is a 2020 American science fantasy adventure film based on the 2001 novel of the same name by Irish author Eoin Colfer. It is directed by Kenneth Branagh, from a screenplay co-written by Conor McPherson and Hamish McColl. The film stars Ferdia Shaw, Lara McDonnell, Josh Gad, Tamara Smart, Nonso Anozie, Colin Farrell, and Judi Dench. It details the adventures of Artemis Fowl II, a 12-year-old Irish prodigy who teams up with his faithful servant, a dwarf, and a fairy in order to rescue his father, Artemis Fowl I, who has been kidnapped by another fairy looking to reclaim an item the Fowl family has stolen.Originally intended to be launched as a franchise by Miramax in 2001, the film languished in development hell with several writers and directors attached until Walt Disney Pictures acquired the rights in 2013. Branagh was hired in September 2015, and much of the cast joined in 2017. Filming began in March 2018, taking place around Europe.Artemis Fowl was originally intended to be a theatrical release, but was cancelled in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, it was released digitally worldwide on Disney+ on June 12, 2020. The film received generally negative reviews from critics, with Rotten Tomatoes saying that it would "anger fans of the source material and leave newcomers befuddled".

Episode 002: Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekhov Host: Douglas Schatz Guest: Nick Hern, Founder of Nick Hern Books and publisher of Conor McPherson's new adaptation of the Chekhov classic. Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play – often one that is on stage somewhere in the UK – and we talk about it in more depth than you will find in the reviews of any one production. We'll discuss the play's origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. To coincide with Irish playwright Conor McPherson's new adaptation of the Chekhov classic, and its West End run, we talk with his publisher Nick Hern. When in 1889 Chekhov presented the first version of the play that would eventually become Uncle Vanya it was a devastating failure. The playwright withdrew the play and didn't write another play for five years. Yet the four great plays that followed sealed Chekhov's reputation as one of the fathers of modern drama. What was different about his plays that changed the way we view theatre? Why are they billed as “comedies” when the characters are so unrelentingly unhappy? How are his portraits of the idle Russian aristocracy at the turn of the 20th century still relevant today? Nick and I and try to answer these questions, and share our love of Uncle Vanya and Chekhov. Find full show notes at www.theplaypodcast.com
