The Yay welcomes back Adrian Deane, who was on Episode 82, five years ago. Since then, she’s lived overseas and has just gotten off stage, performing the title role of Anna Christie, the Pulitzer Prize winning play by Eugene O’Neill. Anna Christie is a play written in 1921, but the play has so many issues that are relevant today: the judgement society has on women, women’s independence and a re-examination of what is family. Our guest host is Cynthia Lagodzinski (previously on the show – Episode 96), who finished directing the all woman show King Lear at Silicon Valley Shakes. We talk about Adrian’s experience in England, Cynthia getting back into directing and what projects the ladies have in the future.
