Theater Talk: Gabriel Byrne; scenic designers David Rockwell & Robin Wagner

Описание: We welcome Tony Award-nominated actor Gabriel Byrne from the Roundabout Theatre Company's 2016 revival of Eugene O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey into Night." Byrne talks about the inspiration for his character, O'Neill's father, James, once one of the most promising actors of his generation. He also shares some of the fundamentals of acting that inform his performance and those of his co-stars Jessica Lange, John Gallagher, Jr. and Michael Shannon, as they interpret this great classic of the American stage that runs over three and a half hours.

Also on the program, designer David Rockwell, nominated for a Tony Award for the scenic design of "She Loves Me" (also produced by the Roundabout Theatre Company) and his fellow scenic designer Robin Wagner, whose sets for the original productions of "A Chorus Line," "Dreamgirls," "On the Twentieth Century" and many more, have established him as one of the great masters in his field.

Theater Talk is a series devoted to the world of the stage. It began on New York television in 1993 and is co-hosted by Michael Riedel (Broadway columnist for the New York Post) and series producer Susan Haskins.

The program is one of the few independent productions on PBS and now airs weekly on Thirteen/WNET in New York and WGBH in Boston. Now, CUNY TV offers New York City viewers additional opportunities to catch each week's show. (Of course, Theater Talk is no stranger to CUNY TV, since the show is taped here each week before its first airing on Thirteen/WNET.)

The series is produced by Theater Talk Productions, a not-for-profit corporation and is funded by contributions from private foundations and individuals, as well as The New York State Council on the Arts.
