BWW Blog: Ed Dixon of Casa Manana's OSWALD: THE ACTUAL INTERROGATION
by Guest Blogger: Ed Dixon - Oct 30, 2013


Casey Hussian (Director) and Ben Williams (Oswald) came to my apartment in New York to discuss the play, OSWALD: THE ACTUAL INTERROGATION. After a VERY interesting chat, we ended up reading through the entire play which was very exciting and invigorating. I had been working on the script for a couple of months before this meeting (since I'm the interrogator, the script is a real bear!) so I was very exciting to jump in with my coworkers. We were all terribly excited about the whole situation when that marvelous meeting concluded.
