This episode is part 2 of a 3 part series which began with last season's Act 1, Scene 6 - "The Work Behind Our Art" where we analyzed the play "Eurydice" by Sara Ruhl. To prepare for this episode we asked Director Bailey Bass to work with us on a fictional staging of this play to exercise our directing, acting and costume design muscles. Join us as we get deep into the process.
