Megan Skye Hale and Myrrh Larsen put on small Shakespeare and movement immersive shows, even during pandemic
For Speculative Drama, it hasn t been much of a change with the COVID-19 pandemic and government restrictions, because it s a theater company that already puts on plays in an intimate environment with not very many audience members and not very big casts. Some would would call it cozy, some would say small.
The company has made changes, of course, with social distancing and capacity limitations. We have a safe space that we can be in and still create in with people taking risks to be near each other, said Megan Skye Hale, the artistic director, who has partnered with Myrrh Larsen, creative director, for about six years on shows. We re having small shows already, up to 10 people in the shows, and it s easier to cut that down.
