Have you heard of Garry Hynes? Anyone who loves Irish Theatre should know her name well! Director and co-founder of Druid Theatre, she brought DruidSynge, a cycle of six Synge's plays, produced by Druid, at Lincoln Center Theatre in summer 2006, and recently directed Juno (her first musical!) for Encores! (see the review on CelticCafe).
Missed them? She'll be back! Check here for more details on her direction of Martin McDonagh's The Cripple of Inishmaan at Atlantic Theatre Company in December, and a Druid Theatre tour of The Playboy of the Western World and Shadow of the Glen in the autumn.
Here's Ms. Hynes on what she loves about directing, Irish playwriting, and the American-Irish audience.
