Wallace Shawn: Playwright

Provocative and intellectually demanding, the plays of Wallace Shawn are as multifaceted and enigmatic as the man himself, known to many from his roles as an actor ('My Dinner with Andre', 'Manhattan', 'The Princess Bride'). Join the writer whom critics have placed in the first rank of contemporary dramatists for an unforgettable conversation on his unique theatrical vision. He is joined in conversation by theater critic Kerry Reid.

This program is generously underwritten by Elaine and Roger Haydock and presented in partnership with Northwestern University School of Communication’s MFA in Writing for Screen+Stage.
