This is part one of a two part interview with the playwright Martyna Majok.
Martyna graciously allowed me to transform her kitchen into my portable recording studio. This interview covers her life as a playwright in NJ and NY. We also discuss "IronBound”, which hit the Rattlestick Playwrights Theater in the spring of 2016.
I met Martyna in 2012 where she was teaching a class in play writing for the NJ Repertory Theater in Long Branch. I can still hear her voice in my head, guiding me to be an honest writer. I admire her strength and her ability to bring realistic language to characters to life. Sitting in the audience in one her plays, you don't feel like you’re watching a play, but real life. A truly miraculous achievement for a talented playwright, my friend, Martyna.
Martyna is preparing for her first Broadway play; Cost of Living". Previews will start May 16th, opening night in June 7th.
Part two of the interview will launch in March.
