Was It Worth It? Bitten By Productions
-
- Kunst
Collaboration in theatre rarely happens without conflict, no matter what level you’re operating on. From friction between writers and directors to difficult actors to carrying on in the face of vitriolic reviews; everyone has their horror stories. But did particular conflicts make for a better or worse show?
Over ten episodes, each featuring a different guest, regular collaborators Gabriel Bergmoser and Peter Blackburn dive deep into instances of creative conflict in both independent and mainstage theatre, every week exploring the central question; was it worth it?
