In Robin Swicord’s adaptation of E.L. Doctorow’s short story, successful suburbanite commuter Howard Wakefield (Bryan Cranston) takes a perverse detour from family life: He vanishes without a trace. Hidden in the attic of his carriage house garage, surviving by scavenging at night, Howard secretly observes the lives of his wife (Jennifer Garner) and children and neighbors. "Wakefield" becomes a fraught meditation on marriage and identity, as Howard slowly realizes that he has not in fact left his family, he has left himself. BUILD hosts Bryan Cranston and director Robin Swicord when they stop by to speak on the film. Interview at 692 Broadway in NYC for BUILD Series.

Nearly thirteen years after the release of his first studio record, Matisyahu and his band have done something unmatched in his past repertoire with the new album, "Undercurrent." The band features longtime guitarist Aaron Dugan, Dub Trio’s bassist and drummer Stu Brooks and Joe Tomino and keyboard virtuoso BigYuki -- and the journey starts with them. The band improvised for hours in the studio with Matisyahu watching on as an admirer without singing a single lyric. Out of the improvisations grew melodic themes, rhythmic peaks and valleys, blissful and proto-song guitar passages, deep dub meditations and ultimately an inspired instrumental record unto itself. Only once the band had crafted this musical narrative, did Matisyahu begin to work on a lyrical narrative of his own -- a lyrical narrative that is simultaneously informed and integrated with the music yet driven by Matisyahu’s own personal journey. The record is Matisyahu’s most courageous music release to date and lyrically his most vulnerable. Matisyahu comes to talk about the album and perform a few songs with the band.

Peter Marks of The Washington Post calls "OSLO" “hands down the best new play of the season,” and now a Tony-nominee for Best Play. Inspired by the true story of the back-channel talks, unlikely friendships and quiet heroics that led to the 1993 Oslo Peace Accords between the Israelis and Palestinians, OSLO is a deeply personal story set against a complex historical canvas, a story about the individuals behind world history and their all too human ambitions. OSLO is “thrilling, a colossus,” raves Ben Brantley of The New York Times. Join playwright J.T Rogers as he discusses his play. Interview at 692 Broadway in NYC for BUILD Series.
