"If we can teleport people, even just for a second, into a place elsewhere, our job as directors is done."
Join director Esther Jun and Thomas Morgan Jones, director of Wendy and Peter Pan, as they discuss Jun’s epic fantasy, Cymbeline. Listen as Jun and Jones discuss the director’s approach to a plot filled with twists, turns and intertwining plots, such as making the plot clear for the audience as the actors convey grief, fantasy and forgiveness through Shakespeare's poetry.
