Show Notes
Dennis is joined via Zoom by three of the artists behind the Echo Theater Company's new play For Want of a Horse; playwright Olivia DuFault, director Elena Luo and actor Griffin Kelly. The play is about a romantic and sexual triangle between a married couple and Q-Tip (played by Kelly) who happens to be a horse. Olivia talks about the New York Magazine article that first inspired her to write the play, the range of emotions she felt reading it and what it's like to receive emails after the show from people who identify as zoophiles. Elena talks about what drew her to the project as a director, the reactions she's noticed in the audience and how working on such a unique, edgy project has ruined her for other plays. Griffin talks about spending time with horses to prepare for her role, Q-tip's obsession with apples and how she approached the more intimate scenes. Other topics include: the limits of empathy, the difference between zoophilia and beastiality, why they love theater and the moments from the journey they'll never forget.
