The Testimony Project, Pt. 1: Theater as a Witness to Our Times with Frank Wood & Emily Adler

Recorded May 15, 2025

In this episode of the HB Insight Series, we explore the recent workshop Testimony: Theater as a Witness to Our Times, part of the Witness to History: The Testimony Project supported by the Noël Coward Foundation. Joined by Tony Award-winning actor and HB Studio faculty member Frank Wood and playwright-actor Emily Adler, we reflect on their experiences working with three historically significant plays and the process of confronting systems of power through theater.

Together, they share the journey from investigating texts to building a performance that resonated deeply with audiences, highlighting how historical narratives remain urgent and relevant today. This conversation offers an inside look at the collaborative, transformative nature of theater-making at HB Studio.
