Penny Dreadful - scene study (2014)
Internet by Reid Martin Basso Lydia A note from the director/student: My first grad school Scene Study (interpretation) of how I would direct and edit and existing work. This scene just "spoke" to me and I immediately "saw" the piece visually. I am using new-comer Courtney Shaffer because she is an acting "natural" and learning the process. Also appearing, in special guest John Gishe, as the priest. John and I have performed together in several productions previously and I am so impressed with his versatility in and out of character now. This was a great and important learning experience for me. -Reid
