On November 28, 1988 Elinor Renfield sat down with Austin Pendelton at Westside Arts Theatre to discuss the experience of directing Michael Weller's "Spoils of War". In this candid in-depth interview, Mr. Pendelton discusses this original piece from development to opening just eighteen days after "Spoils"' premiered at the Music Box Theatre on Broadway. He covers the writing process with Weller, casting Kate Nelligan and Alice Playten and rehearsing the roles that would earn them a Tony nomination and a Drama Desk nomination, respectively.
