Alejandra and Daniel\xa0discuss how they decided to do the play; how they approached their characters; what the play is about now;\xa0how the language defines the play; the advantages of seeing many previous productions; how it\u2019s a play about navigating relationships, the various worlds of the play, marriage; and, ultimately, two misfits in a patriarchal, transactional society. BONUS: Here's where you can watch this production online!
