Paul Rudnick
Author of The New Century.
Playwright Paul Rudnick discusses his evening of one-act plays, The New Century, currently playing at Lincoln Center Theatre, including how he came to combine characters originally written for separate plays into a single work and how he hopes they play against their stereotypes; how he announced his plans to be a playwright to his parents as a young child, before he’d even seen a play; the senior class project that he threw together at the last minute only to see it swiftly produced as a one-night-only event at Yale; the famously troubled Broadway run of I Hate Hamlet; the difficulty he experienced trying to get Jeffrey, a comedy set in the era of AIDS, produced; and the story behind his longest-running character, film critic Libby Gelman-Waxner of Premiere magazine.
Original airdate - April 18, 2008.
Running time - 58:39.
