Ellen McDougall on Our Town

Our Town played at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre from 16 May - 8 June 2019. In this episode, we hear from director Ellen McDougall on what Our Town means to her, and about the landscape in which Thornton Wilder was writing his Pulitzer Prize-winning play. “It seems to be be about nothing and suddenly it’s about everything”, says Ellen – which is why “the beyond-sublime third act blows your mind” (Time Out). #OurTown #OAT2019 https://openairtheatre.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/regentsparkopenairtheatre Twitter: https://twitter.com/OpenAirTheatre Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/regentsparkoat
