“It's very much a character-based play. Conor's writing is almost musical and paints pictures at the same time. It's a joy as an actor to be able to say the words. It's very conversational but at the same time, tells a story.” WritingPlayCharacterStoriesAbleJoyActorsPaintMusical Author:Sean Mahon
“It's a piece that is so interactive, and relies so much on these five men in the room, that I think will appeal to the life experiences every person has, in some small way. Every aspect of the play will in some way touch somebody or they'll know someone that has a likeness... very representative of real life.” ThinkingKnowsMenWayPersonsRealPlayRoomsFivePiecesAspectReal LifeAppealsRelyLife ExperienceRepresentativesInteractive Author:Sean Mahon
“It's a group of men - Conor included - everyone is so collaborative and cooperative, kind, considerate, very professional. And they know their craft. They know it very very well. There's no room for messing around. It's not messy at all. When I go in at this level, when I get the opportunity to play and work at this level, it's at the top of the game. I think, in life, we rise to whatever the bar is. I've been fortunate to rise with them.” ThinkingKnowsMenWellsKindPlayOpportunityGamesLevelsRoomsGroupsBarsCraftsFortunateMessyCooperativesConsiderate Author:Sean Mahon
“I don't want to denounce musicals because they certainly have a message they want to communicate. But with straight plays, there is a focus on what's going on between people and relationships. I think so much is happening in the world at the moment, so many changes politically and culturally, writers are writing about that.” PeopleThinkingWorldWantWritingPlayMomentsFocusMessagesHappeningsCommunicate Author:Sean Mahon
“People want to relate to that. That's a healthy place to be. Even movies do this: War movies or light-hearted comedies, they all have their different time. And this is the time, fortunately, for straight plays...
