This week on Curtain Call, host Tom Candela sits down with acclaimed actress Elizabeth Marvel (House of Cards, Homeland, The Dropout) and director Mark Wing-Davey to discuss the powerful new Off-Broadway production of Tim Blake Nelson’s And Then We Were No More. Recently named by The New York Times as one of the “13 New Plays to See,” the show confronts issues of politics, inequity, and the fragility of democracy — themes that feel especially urgent in today’s divided world.
In this conversation, Marvel and Wing-Davey share their insights on the play’s bold message, the casting of both seasoned performers and actors making their Off-Broadway debut, and how Stop the Wind Theatricals’ innovative producing model brought this project to life.
