Contemporary American verse playwright Kirk Wood Bromley has been called "the new Shakespeare" by a variety of theater reviewers. After writing and producing his plays in NYC through his company, Inverse Theater, from 1990 to 2022, Bromley now lives in the Sonoran Desert, from which remote vantage comes this podcast: a series of interviews with past and current Bromley play collaborators, recordings of virtual play rehearsals, behind-the-scenes discussions on the audio versions of the plays, conversations about the practice of creating the plays, and musings on the meanings in the plays, along with commentary by Bromley on the songs and lyrics of his musical side project, The Good Hard.

Ep. 13: Chris Thorn

We chat about his work on some of the later Inverse plays, a few of the amazing actors he worked with in those productions, and the projects he directed and how we decided to have him do that. Always great to hear from this...

Ep. 8: Mick O’Brien
I’m excited to share my conversation with actor Mick O’Brien in this episode of the Inverse Theater Podcast. Mick has been in numerous Inverse shows and has always turned in a stellar performance. He’s a thoughtful, thorough, diverse, and dare I say “literary” actor whose sparkling facility with language is as good as it gets....
