Nicholas Martin-Smith runs the best ensemble theatre on the Upper West Side. Hudson Warehouse is the "other Shakespeare in the Park" -- that is Riverside Park -- and they have been producing top-notch productions below the Soldier's and Sailor's Monument for over 15 years.
His grandfather's cousin, playwright Edward Martyn, along with W. B. Yeats and Lady Gregory of Poole, founded Dublin's Abbey Theatre.
Mr. Martin-Smith has directed among other plays Cyrano, Romeo and Juliet, the world premiere of a new adaptation of The Three Musketeers by Susane Lee, as well as Julius Caesar, the Warehouse's second indoor production in March 2014.
When I spoke with Nicholas, he was hunkered down upstate NYC with his partner Susane Lee.
This first HD podcast ends with a conversation with Presidential scholar Brian Arbour about his new experiences of online teaching - the inadequacies of Trump as president - and we hear from first-grader, Josh Arbour, hunkered down at home.
