I was back at The Stella Adler Studio of acting recently, to direct their NYU students in a production of Sarah Daniels’ marvelous play The Gut Girls. Written under Thatcher in 1980s Britain, the play tells the story of the freedoms enjoyed, and horrors faced, by young women working in the gore of cattle-gutting sheds, amid the social forces, technological advances, and economic pressures that push them around.
The students were absolutely wonderful to work with, and I think we made something quite poignant—I only wish they could have had more performances to share it with the world. Some great photos, courtesy of AK Nouveau (@aknouveau), are below.
