  • Summary

  • Irma and Karen chat about audio books.

    Then Karen speaks with Finegan Kruckemeyer about how he got his first break as a playwright, the difference between writing for young people and adult audiences, how much freedom there is in the parameters of commissioned works, why he acts out his scripts, why a school production of one of his plays blew him away far more than the professional production, how he goes about writing both comedy and big issues, why he doesn’t enter the rehearsal space, advice on how to get started as a playwright, and how his wife’s illness and a new puppy led to writing his first novel.
