Annie Ryan
<p>This week I chat to Annie Ryan. Annie is a theatre director originally from Chicago and through her company The Corn Exchange has a vast array of credits spanning the past 30 years, including Dublin by Lamplight and The Seagull, and now for the Abbey Theatre, The Whiteheaded Boy, which is currently running until July 25th. It features a fantastic ensemble of actors, one of whom, Fionnuala Gygax, has previously appeared on this podcast. During our chat Annie and I delve deep into her process and I think like me you’ll be struck by her deft turn of phrase and passion for the medium. You don’t want to miss this conversation.</p>
