Directing ‘Primary Trust’

  • Summary

  • Director Malkia Stampley, whose beautiful production of Eboni Booth's 2024 Pulitzer Prize-winning play Primary Trust runs at Chicago's Goodman Theatre through November 3, 2024, discusses how she embraced the play's delicate intimacy and transformed a literary script into a theatrical event. Malkia reveals the ways in which a live audience and actors playing multiple characters lift a potentially naturalistic play into a theatrical realm; how she eschewed melodrama and discovered the mystery and curiosity she was looking for; how clowns can find the funny and serious actors the gravitas; and the value of always looking for – and finding – the light.
