How The Shed Brought Kenneth Branagh, Stephen Sondheim and Ralph Fiennes All Under One Roof
The Shed's artistic director, Alex Poots, on how he brought starry theater events with Branagh, Stephen Sondheim and Ralph Fiennes to New York.
The cinematic production, co-directed by Rob Ashford and Lucy Skilbeck, condenses the story down to two hours and uses Dolby Atmos surround sound to heighten the immersive feel. In a choice that emphasizes the story’s central generation gap, Branagh is surrounded by a cast of young actors who recently graduated from London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Also on the new episode of “Stagecraft,” Poots discussed the advantages of the Shed’s flexible performance space and looked ahead to what’s next at the venue, including a new staging of Oscar winner Tarrell Alvin McCraney’s breakthrough 2007 play “The Brothers Size.”
