E07: Director Thomas Morgan Jones talks Wendy and Peter Pan with Molly Atkinson | Director's Notes
Description
Join the director of Wendy and Peter Pan, Thomas Morgan Jones, as he teaches us how to fight pirates with Molly Atkinson, director of Hedda Gabler!
Jones’s excitement is palpable as he discusses his passion
for creating theatre for young people. "Children are the audiences of the future, but they are also [the] audiences of now, and they deserve art and culture," believes Jones. Listen as Jones and Atkinson discuss Jones’s approach to mature themes and collaborating with actors in rehearsals as they do their best not to cry while discussing themes of grief and home in Jones’s moving interpretation of Wendy and Peter Pan.
