DRAMA. with Connor & Dylan MacDowell10 Heinä 2024

"My Darlings" with Martyna Majok

Connor and Dylan are joined by Pulitzer Prize-winner and Tony-nominated playwright Martyna Majok (Gatsby: An American Myth, Cost of Living). Fresh off their summer vacation to Palm Springs, the twins discuss drag brunches, paradise in the desert, and whether or not Isaac Powell strips down at A.R.T. in this summer’s hottest show: Gatsby: An American Myth. There's no one better to chat about it all with than Martyna Majok, the show’s book writer. We dive DEEP into the process of writing this new musical, from rediscovering the source material of The Great Gatsby, to collaborating with music and lyricist Florence Welch (of Florence and the Machine, y’all!) and Thomas Bartlett, and her involvement in the casting process. Martyna bares her soul on themes, topics, and life experiences close to her heart, as well as the role they play in her writing. She tells the story of meeting her love, Bobby Conte, what it was like winning a Pulitzer for Cost of Living, and the transcendent experience of seeing John Stamos in Cabaret at Studio 54. Pool hustling, The Bear season 3, and taking stock of life are just a few more things the three of them get into in this insightful, heartfelt, and thrilling conversation. Go see Gatsby: An American Myth at A.R.T. through August 3.
