Fighting Chance a directors thoughts
12 May 2012
Format:Paperback
I directed Fighting Chance several years ago and still find it as fresh and as interesting today as I did then. The cast enjoyed the experience and have asked me to do it again.
I am about to direct "That Good Night" another of Crisp's plays. The cast find the words true to the characters, which gives them a sense of morphing without the need for dramatic subdefuge so often needed in modern plays.
