”These characters talk about and deal with some tremendous issues and have arguments and share theoretical philosophies,” Harrison says. “We had a lot of rehearsal time and we had the time and the ability to spend time grappling with what they are saying and how their characters have been formed by the things they have discussed.”

”It’s one of those things where we have to deal with the other person every moment on stage, and the audience disappears,” Ari says. “It’s a great moment on the stage. Being able to concentrate on the other person for the whole extent of a play helps you do that.”
