Wildfire (Interview with David Paquet and Leanna Brodie)
Laura talks with award-winning playwright David Paquet and writer/ translator Leanna Brodie about how David\u2019s research into his family\u2019s past helped inspire his dark comedy, \u201cWildfire\u201d. He shares how specific images and phrases help craft his unusual characters and why he feels drawn to those on the margins. Leanna Brodie opens up about her job of adapting the play for anglo audiences and why she\u2019s tasked with translating more than just the language. They both reveal what it\u2019s like to work as a writer today and why it's not just about making great art. \n\nWildfire by David Paquet, translated by Leanna Brodie.
