Groundbreaking Director Peter Sellars Visits Ashland

YouTube

Audiences have drawn sharp breaths upon seeing some of the plays and operasdirected by Peter Sellars, a professor at UCLA.  And upon occasion, the sharp breaths are followed by people walking out. 

Sellars pushes the boundaries, staging plays in swimming pools and in complete darkness, among other settings. 

He visits Southern Oregon University to talk about Shakespeare and the interpretation of his and other plays.  We get a chance to visit with the director in advance of an evening event.
