Steppenwolf Theatre posted an interesting video to their youtube channel with ensemble member, Frank Galati in respect of his adaptation of EL Doctorow’s novel, THE MARCH.
Enjoy the video below.
Is William Petersen also involved in turning this excellent novel into a stage play? Can’t think its a coincidence that Mr. Galati decided to do this around the same time the mini-series To Appomatox will come out!
Not sure if he is involved in any of the writing in respect of the adaptation wih Mr Galati, (that said he may have more involvement in respect of lines during rehearsals), or how involved he is in play selection being an ensemble member, but no doubt he’ll be able to give a lot of input into the character development of Sherman for the play from his experiences and research for playing the same character in the mini-series.
Excellent! I was wondering who was going to direct, I’m also quite curious as to who else is wil be in it.
