RR_S09E28 - James Ijames - Gem Of The Ocean - Part 2

On today’s podcast, we return with part 2 of my chat with James IJames, director of August Wilson’s “Gem of the Ocean” at Arden Theatre Company. 

If you haven’t listened to Part one, head on over to Broad Street Review Podcast and subscribe.

James makes everyone think a little bit deeper about the intentions of characters and the worlds they inhabit. We talk about crafting a vision on an already layered piece, sharing that vision with an amazing design team, audience responses and the through-lines of Wilson’s work.

So, here is part two of my interview with James Ijames. 

ABOUT GEM OF THE OCEAN

Set in 1904, this first installment of August Wilson’s The American Century Cycle journeys to Pittsburgh’s Hill District and tells a mystical story of freedom, justice and redemption.
