On Wednesday, actor and writer Tracy Letts (AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY, BUG, HOMELAND) joins us in a new episode of the Team Deakins Podcast. During our conversation, Tracy reveals the real-world news item that inspired his first play, KILLER JOE, and he quotes the critical review that ironically sold out the show for the remainder of its run. We also discuss director William Friedkin’s adaptation of Tracy’s play BUG, and we reflect on cinema’s role as a messenger for exposing the stories of the stage to rural American communities without their own theatre scenes. ⁠ ⁠ Listen later this week!⁠ -⁠ This episode is sponsored by Barco & Aputure⁠ Instagram: barco_nv & aputure.lighting⁠ -⁠ #teamdeakins #rogerdeakins #rogeradeakins #sirRoger #bywaysBook #jamesellisdeakins #teamdeakinspodcast #tracyLetts #actor #acting #writer #writing #playwright #theatre #stillPhotography #visualarts
