More About 'Dionysus Was Such A Nice Man'
Kate Tarker published a blog about the process of writing "Dionysus Was Such A Nice Man," commissioned by Wilma Theater
through the Virginia B. Toulmin Foundation’s Woman Playwrights Commissioning Program.
"They gave me deadlines for the blog, but not the play," says Kate.
Among our favorite lines from Kate's blog is,
"...would I rather someday win an Obie, or an Obscenity Charge? And I kind of think, Obscenity Charge has more potential."
Read on, here.
Dramaturg Jessica Rizzo interviewed Kate Tarker for www.artblog.org, the award-winning
Philadelphia-based online publication and community founded in 2003; both the text and the audio are here.
