BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
In the fifth episode of Present Process, Daniel talks with Brian James Polak about his play The Gravediggers Union.
The goal of Present Process is two fold: first, to highlight great plays from lesser known playwrights and elevate them as much as we can; and second, to demystify the process of writing a great play and increase the shared knowledge of playwriting.
Brian's Bio: Plays include WELCOME TO KEENE, NH, THE PATIENT (The Kennedy Center’s Jean Kennedy Smith Award), LAST TO DIE FOR A LOST CAUSE (The Kennedy Center’s John Cauble Award; published by Next Stage Press Spring 2021), HERE RESTS THE HEART, THE GRAVEDIGGERS UNION, THE MEETING, and several others. His work has been published by Smith & Kraus, Talon Review, Commonplace Books, NoPassport Press, Next Stage Press, and Canyon Voices.
Currently writing: HOTEL HOLLYWOOD about the collision between capitalism and homelessness in downtown Los Angeles, and THE SALMON TRIGGER about a family conflict when one of them returns from storming the capitol on Jan. 6.
Host of American Theatre Magazine's "The Subtext," a podcast by/for/about playwrights and playwriting.
MFA: University of Southern California, School of Dramatic Arts.
