What does all of this mean to you
0:10
I don't know. I don't spend a lot of time thinking about what things mean so much
0:16
I mean, not to be a cop out, because I don't really know. I don't know what that means
0:24
but I feel the weight of it. It does mean a lot
0:28
I just haven't articulated what exactly that is. To be nominated for a Tony is an insane thing
0:36
It comes with an idea, a history of people before it. It is a company that is a privilege and an honor to be a part of
0:50
Again, I know that means a lot, But I haven't, you don't really grasp the weight of it, I think
0:57
What have you enjoyed the most about working on this piece? What a beautiful play this is in working with this company
1:03
I mean, I guess people could probably say this about every play, and I always feel this about every play, that always you get at the end of it
1:11
and you want to go back, because now you have a better sense of it. But this play in particular every night I hear something different that is like oh it deceptively it seems very simple but there a lot of themes that are going on that I mean not only just the idea of when the
1:31
time the time in which the play was written that all these beautiful men were dying and you're
1:36
missing all of this art and conversation and the loss and grief that no one could figure out where
1:43
to put there's that part of it that is a beautiful idea and which i feel is resonant throughout time
1:50
that's timeless that people not being able to articulate grief but then it's also about four
1:55
artists talking about process and burton you know wants to write they're all kind of on the precipice
2:02
of maybe doing the next big thing for them and and it's like kind of like a rallying cry i think
2:08
from Lanford of making it more and more personal, make it as embarrassing as possible. And all four
2:13
of them are on that kind of journey. And I think that's also, there's like a beautiful, that's a
2:21
beautiful theme that I hear every night in different ways from different characters. Even like two
2:25
a week ago, I heard for the first time Anna's line before I come on about being angry, you know
2:31
just she's angry and she can't express it. And then Pail comes on and expresses it, you know
2:35
It's just a beautiful, things like that
