In this Repisode we talk with Mark Wing-Davey, the director of THE GREAT WAVE. We sat down with him in our in-house studio during a break from rehearsals, right before we went into tech, so you'll be catching him mid-process in this conversation.

THE GREAT WAVE runs September 12–October 27 and tickets are available at berkeleyrep.org.

Mark Wing-Davey first came to prominence in the United States in 1992 with his celebrated production of Caryl Churchill’s Mad Forest at New York Theatre Workshop. Since then he has worked extensively in New York for Labyrinth Theater Company, Lincoln Center, Manhattan Theatre Club, Playwrights Horizons, and The Public Theater/New York Shakespeare Festival. The Great Wave is his sixth show at Berkeley Rep. His other credits include productions of new writing and classic plays at theatres across the U.S., as well as shows at the Edinburgh Festival, London’s National and Royal Court Theatres, and musicals in the West End and Australia. He is an Arts Professor at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and Chair of its Graduate Acting Program.
