Rhetoric, Music, & Spectacle: About an Adaptation

We sat down with Patrick Mullins, who has been the driving force behind Oliver Twist. He has adapted Oliver Twist, as well as our current version of A Christmas Carol, and many other pieces here at Virginia Stage. We wanted to sit down and pick his brain about the process of taking a story to the stage.
