Hamlet to Hamilton: Exploring Verse Drama

INTERVIEW: Caeden Musser


Listen Later

Before we jump back into Arthur's world, we want to give you this interview with playwright Caeden Musser!  Caeden is an actor-combatant, playwright, opera singer, and so much more.  Their new Cassandra-inspired play was featured in several of the "Tool Boudoir" episodes from Season One, and Caeden's here today talking about how music and movement influences their writing in verse.


Please note: This interview was recorded in the winter of 2020, when Caeden was known as "Becca" with she/they pronouns.
