Interview: Alex Edelman (Just For Us) and Anna Sawai (Shōgun, Monarch)

This week’s interview episode features two dynamic talents starting to introduce themselves to much larger (read: national TV) audiences. First, Alex Edelman speaks with Hillary Busis about winding down his lauded, years-long solo stage show Just For Us with a rousing HBO special. Then, David Canfield catches up with Shōgun’s breakout star Anna Sawai, as they take a deep dive on her searing performance as Lady Mariko—through to this week’s pivotal episode.
