Cerveris & Shinn Discuss Broadway's HEDDA GABLER 3/2 At 92Y

Two of the creative forces behind the Roundabout Theater Company's Broadway production of Hedda Gabler - Tony® Award-winning actor Michael Cerveris, who stars as Jorgen Tesman, and Obie-Award-winning playwright Christopher Shinn, who adapted Henrik Ibsen's script - discuss the legendary play and the current incarnation making waves on Broadway. They are joined by the New York Post's new chief theater critic, Elisabeth Vincentelli.

Cerveris has appeared on Broadway in Sweeney Todd, Assassins, Titanic and Tommy, and in Stephen Sondheim's Road Show at the Public Theatre. Shinn received a Guggenheim Fellowship for his dramatic works, which have been produced at theaters including Manhattan Theatre Club, Playwrights Horizons and Lincoln Center. Vincentelli joined the Post as chief drama critic after serving as Arts & Entertainment Editor at Time Out New York.
