Welcome

Welcome to the Elia Kazan: A Theatre Investigation blog.

Over three months (August, September and October), award-winning Director Peta Hanrahan will be investigating the influence of Elia Kazan on the Theatre of the 20th century. Kazan is most well-known for his work as a film director, but his influence on Theatre was as, if not more, lasting and profound.

Elia Kazan remains one of the important figures in our theatre of the 20th Century, and over the coming weeks, this blog will be the place where theatre makers, actors, directors and our audiences, will be able to have direct input into our greater appreciation of this major theatrical undertaking.

The plays are (in order of their performance): Clifford Odets' Waiting for Lefty (Sunday 31 August); Arthur Miller's All My Sons (Sunday 28 September); and Robert Anderson's Tea and Sympathy (Sunday 26 October).

Please join the conversation.
