A Conversations with Playwright: Lindsey Ferrentino

Saison 2 · Épisode 2

vendredi 27 septembre 2024 • Durée 49:36

I am beyond thrilled to bring you this episode with an old friend, playwright Lindsey Ferrentino. Lindsey has had an incredible career thus far with plays like "Ugly Lies the Bone," "Amy and the Orphans," and "This Flat Earth," making their way to major New York City stages all in the span of a few years.

In 2024, she's celebrated the success of a new musical in London, an adaptation of the Oscar Winning Best Picture, "The Artist," starring Robbie Fairchild, AND the opening of "Queen of Versailles," a musical co-written with Stephen Schwartz in Boston. Her play "Fear of 13" based on the documentary of the same name and starring Adrien Brody will open at the Donmar Warehouse this October, and is already sold out.

Despite all the giggling and joking we do in this episode, Lindsey imparts some pretty incisive wisdom based on her experience. And because of our friendship, I had a good time asking her some of the tougher questions from my arsenal.

For more information about Lindsey visit: https://www.lindseyferrentino.com/

Stay up to date with her latest projects here: Fear of 13 and Queen of Versailles (coming to Broadway 2025-2026)

Not to toot my own horn... but I think this episode is a must-listen for any playwright starting out or navigating the early years of their career. And I hope you will too. So don't be shy: give it a share! Thanks for tuning in <3

These two nerd out on the current state of theater and what might be coming up next in the 2022-2023 season.

Tune in to hear her clear-eyed perspective now that she longer drinks the kool-aid.
