Michael Grandage

Have a listen to Michael Grandage and Michael Billington speak on this podcast. Link here.

Amongst other things it gives an insight in to how the Donmar is run and Grandage’s experience at Sheffield. Also for the directors amongst you he mentions an interesting point about having to direct a lot of shows on a 3 sided stage and how that compares to a pros arch – the 3 sided experience (lots of diagonals to deal with) adds a lot in his thinking when staging for front-on pros arch.

And also on transferring shows to the West End and the power (or not) of commercial producers.
