Somehow we managed to create a really wonderful piece of theatre.”Unfortunately, Dorin felt somewhat constrained by the rigid dictates of the play’s script. “It was a good choice for a directorial debut, because Albee spells out a lot of details—B stands here, C says this line in this fashion—but it does make it harder to leave your own imprint on the play,” he explains.With...
