On Collaboration: Marshall Mason
At the SDCF 2013 Emerging Artist Symposium on Plays on June 17, 2013, SDCF hosted legendary director Marshall Mason to speak about his extraordinary collaboration with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lanford. Mason's collaboration with Wilson has been certified by Playbill as the longest collaboration between a writer and director in the history of the American theater, and is perhaps the finest example of collaboration in the recent American Theatre. Listen in is as Mason gives his personal account of this exemplary artistic relationship as well as a practical analysis of his approach to working with actors neatly formatted into a comprehensible eight-step program.
