In an early version of the Yay, I talk with Craig Dickerson, veteran actor and former member of Eastenders. Craig and I talk about the state of theater and how he came into theater. We also talk about the fine line between exploitation and bold choices by directors and how actors need to protect themselves - in the 56:04 mark, Craig talks about a play where he played a character who is raped - and how uncomfortable he felt as an actor. We also talk about the late Sam Sheppard, Slim Pickens (and how some limitations of actors can actually elevate the play), and performance artist Karen Finley.
