The Essential Theatre congratulates James Beck on the World Premiere of his dark comedy BLEACH at the Lionheart Theatre in Norcross, running Feb. 10 – 19. (Visit http://www.lionhearttheatre.org for details.) Essential did some development work with James on this play, part of our ongoing mission of supporting new work by Georgia playwrights. Here’s what James had to say about working with us: “Peter led the group in a constructive feedback session that allowed me as the playwright to experience my play, to question it and to gather new creative energy to apply in crafting the work. Peter did a great job of understanding that the playwright has to solve the riddle of the play but offered, through open discussion, some really great reflection about the piece.”
