Interview: Derek Charles Livingston of LET.HER.RIP. at Stages Houston
by Brett Cullum - June 02, 2025
I've known about Maggie and this play for four years. In fact, when I was at the Utah Shakespeare Festival, the Director of Play Development, I chose this play for one of our development processes. So I was part of this play's development. There have been subsequent workshops, and I didn't know this at the time, but Maggie was inspired to write this play because of Breonna Taylor.
