Theater in the Now: Spotlight On...Robert Murphy
www.theaterinthenow.com: What kind of theater speaks to you? What or who inspires you as an artist?: It sounds obvious, but I’m drawn to theatre that makes me feel something. Because (IMHO), so much theatre in NYC seems more focused on exploring stylistic ideas, or dazzling with cleverness, than sharing an emotionally compelling story. (I do love theatrical style, as long as a compelling story gets told.) Having said that, one my of favorite playwrights is Charles Ludlam. He embraced all kind of craziness in his plays, but was also quite firmly grounded in traditional rules of dramatic structure.
