"All the creators sort of have a love/hate relationship to the theatre. Because we love what it's capable of, but we're so disappointed normally. Which I think is true of any art form...you know how powerful it can be, and you want that transporting experience. And it's so rare." -Bob Martin, speaking on the podcast Downstage Center (2006)
"The Drowsy Chaperone" may be one of the most expertly crafted interrogations of theatre's fragile relationship to nostalgia ever put on Broadway. Or, it's a simple comedy. It's neither. It's both. Either way, it's a Dynamic artwork. Zach Barr (they/them) takes a deeper look at 'Drowsy' and its protagonist, Man-In-Chair, and the discourse around how to present old material in the present day. It's a video essay ten years in the making.
