Fiona Shaw and Deborah Warner Set to Appear at the Greene Space, 4/30

On Tuesday, April 30th, WNYC's Leonard Lopate will host an up-close-and-personal lunchtime conversation with actress Fiona Shaw and director Deborah Warner about their long-standing creative collaboration and the provocative new Broadway production of The Testament of Mary, as part of The Jerome L. Greene Performance Space's "Inside Look" series.

The Testament of Mary is a dramatic adaptation of acclaimed author Colm Tóibín's novella that imagines Mary, the mother of Jesus, as a solitary older woman still seeking to understand the events that become the narrative of the New Testament and the foundation of Christianity.

The New York Times calls the play "beautiful and daring." The New York Review of Books calls it "subversive and ruthless," and lauds it for its "sensational theatricality." And Entertainment Weekly says it is "spellbinding and emotional. A generous leap of imagination."
