BWW Interview: Director Mark Hisler Contextualizes TERRA NOVA at The Vortex
by Devon Hoffman - Mar 8, 2016
The next show in the Vortex Theater will be Terra Nova, by Ted Tally. Opening March 25 and running until April 17, the play covers the last leg of the ill-fated 1912 Terra Nova South Pole expedition, led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott. Co-directed by Mark Hisler (left, in below image) and Aaron Worley (right), this show is a cunning balance between a thoughtful social commentary and a visceral human trial. Mark Hisler and I met to discuss this balance, and the history behind it.
