The Subtext

American Theatre

From AMERICAN THEATRE magazine, a podcast where playwrights talk to playwrights about the things usually left unsaid. In a conversation that dives into life's muck, we learn what irks, agitates, motivates, inspires and - ultimately - what makes writers tick. (This feed is for the Subtext from 2018 onwards.

  • Late to the game but so thankful for this podcast

    Just jumped on board with this. Started with Kimber Lee, listened to Tracy Letts, and currently enjoying Will Arbery. Thanks for this show - it’s ridiculously interesting, inspiring, reassuring, and challenging - in all the right ways. Can’t wait to catch up on all I’ve missed and then join the exciting journey forward.
