“Starting is always a difficult thing, in any walk in life, but with a play, it looks like this giant mountain to climb. But when you arrive, and as soon as the actors sit at the table… and you hear their voices, and hear the energy, you can start to already see it coming into view…” says acclaimed director and playwright, Mark Shanahan, who is in Norfolk to direct the latest Virginia Stage Company production of season 47, “Wait Until Dark.” We’re inside the side lobby of the Wells Theatre…
“Why do I have to be the world’s champion blind woman?”
