Theater Talk: David Hare and Stephen Daldry on "Skylight"

Playwright David Hare and director Stephen Daldry discuss Daldry's revival of Hare's play Skylight which has just been nominated for 7 Tony Awards® including Best Revival of a Play and Best Director of a Play for Daldry. This romantic drama about the relationship between a successful businessman and a young teacher who has consigned herself to public service and penury, is considered one of Hare's best plays and a classic of modern British drama.

Theater Talk is a series devoted to the world of the stage. It began on New York television in 1993 and is co-hosted by Michael Riedel (Broadway columnist for the New York Post) and series producer Susan Haskins.
The program is one of the few independent productions on PBS and now airs weekly on Thirteen/WNET in New York and WGBH in Boston. Now, CUNY TV offers New York City viewers additional opportunities to catch each week's show. (Of course, Theater Talk is no stranger to CUNY TV, since the show is taped here each week before its first airing on Thirteen/WNET.)
The series is produced by Theater Talk Productions, a not-for-profit corporation and is funded by contributions from private foundations and individuals, as well as The New York State Council on the Arts.

oh man surely there are many many many over 60 male actors who could play the part, for God's sake, but as always laziness is the default just look around, actors need jobs, and audiences deserve, need, crave to see new faces onstage, we see the same old faces over and over again... it's sort of depressing. BUT happy to hear Rufus Norris is pushing for a more multicultural outlook.
