The Goodman Theatre in Chicago has started a series they call "Live@5," where they stream conversations on Fridays in the afternoon. Yesterdays was between their artistic director Robert Falls and Nathan Lane. (Falls, by the way, is pretty acclaimed in his own right. He’s been the Goodman’s artistic directors for 25 years, and won a Tony Award for directing a revival of Death of a Salesman that starred Brian Dennehy.) Here's the hour-and-15-minute conversation. It's fairly entertaining, as they discuss the theater and fill in the spaces with behind-the-scene stories of people they've worked with. Lane in particular has several amusing tales of working with George C. Scott, who Falls crossed paths with, as well. There's also a very good, extended clip of a Goodman production of Eugene O'Neill's The Iceman Cometh that starred Brian Dennehy and Lane. The sound mix is awful for the first 19 minutes, with Falls being quite loud and Lane very soft. They adjust it, but not enough. They finally get it -- if not "right" -- much better about 33 minutes in, after working on it during the Iceman Cometh clip. Also, I'm having difficulty getting this to start from the beginning. If it doesn't, just grab the scrollbar and drag it all the way to the left.
