About this listen

In episode 2 of season 2, David and Mark-Eugene break down the recent Tony nominations and share their standout shows of the season. Then, they dive into OPEN by Crystal Skillman, a poignant solo play in which a woman known as The Magician pantomimes a series of illusions—each one an attempt to defy the ultimate trick: saving her lover Jenny. Skillman, an internationally award-winning playwright, comic book author, and podcast writer, is known for GEEK, CUT, KING KIRBY (a New York Times Critics’ Pick), and her work with Marvel, Adventure Time, and Wondery Kids. The episode features readings from the Dramatists Play Service edition by Megan Hill, who originated the role at The Tank in 2019, and Lily-Ali Oshatz, who toured with OnStage!. A Q&A with director Jessi D. Hill follows. David and Mark-Eugene close with a tease of next episode’s book pick. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
