The Making Of
Written by Nora Abdel-Maksoud
Translated by Anna Kasten/PANTHEA
Directed by Sibyl Kempson
1 p.m. PDT (San Francisco) / 3 p.m. CDT (Chicago) / 4 p.m. EDT (New York)

A film director wants to put together a superhero remake, made in Germany. But some crew members aren’t quite ready for the pressure of their roles. A wicked satire about the film business and theatrical ideals, a desperate hosanna to the paradox of acting and an optimistic swan song for roles that no one can really fulfill.

Readings followed by a conversation with the playwright.

The Martin E. Segal Center presents the PEN World Voices: International Play Festival 2019 livestreaming on the global, commons-based peer produced HowlRound TV network at howlround.tv from Monday 6 May to Thursday 9 May 2019.
