I felt like there are topics touched upon that we haven’t seen often, whether s fathers and dghters or the gay parent and a gay I do and I thk ’s revolutnary a quiet way, which is, I thk, often the most subversive and nstctive way for thgs to be revolutnary pecially bee we didn’t set out to do anythg revolutnary. All we set out to do was fahfully tell this story and all of our foc om Jane and Lisa to Sam Gold, the director, to all of volved really worked long and hard through many, many eratns and versns of this storytellg to get a story balanced and fahful to Alison’s story and her book and also to prent a way that uld allow the greatt number of people to fd their way to , that was fahful to the experience of a lbian woman disverg herself, and that was accurate about a closeted gay man’s stggle but that also uld have people om all walks of life nnect to along the way of dog that, we sort of created this particular way of dog a mil and ’s not performed a showy mil kd of way.
But I thk there’s no way around the fact that is groundbreakg to put a butch lbian character at the center of a story and gay parent and gay child at the heart of a fay drama and bee we haven’t seen that before and probably five, seven years ago, probably uldn’t have seen on Broadway.
