The artistic director of Mitch and Murray Productions Aaron Craven discusses their new production that he’s directing, Mike Bartlett’s An Intervention, with Joseph Planta.

Text of the introduction by Joseph Planta:

I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.

Aaron Craven joins me again. The artistic director of Mitch and Murray Productions, actor and playwright is at the helm of another production of a Mike Bartlett play, the Canadian premiere of An Intervention. It’s at Performance Works on Granville Island starting this Friday, 08 March 2024 running until 17 March 2024. We spoke two weeks ago, just as rehearsals were to start with the play’s two actors: Kate Craven and Christiaan Westerveld. The play is a look at the friendship of two people as they navigate personal divisions over a war in the Middle East. The dilemma as to whether one friend should intervene in a friend’s personal conflict is where the title of the work comes from. I’ll ask Mr. Craven about the show, the wit and intellect that the playwright deploys therein, and timeliness of the work and this production. Visit www.mitchandmurrayproductions.com for tickets and information. Please welcome back to the Planta: On the Line program, Aaron Craven; Mr. Craven, good morning.
