An Interview with Liesl Tommy

THE INTERVAL: It is the morning of February 24th and we’re sitting with director Liesl Tommy in the lower lobby of the Golden Theatre on 45th Street where, the previous evening, Eclipsed, which tells the story of a group of women during the Liberian Civil War, had its first Broadway preview. There was a red carpet and famous names to match; there was a group photo at curtain call; there was a fancy dinner. But now it’s the morning after, and soon it will be time to get back to work or, in Liesl’s case to keep working, because she’s never stopped.
