Today Pacifica Performance Showcase highlights the Rogue Machine Theatre with Artistic Director, John Perrin Flynn and Director/Playwright Phyllis Nagy, as they discuss the upcoming production of “Neverland,” written and directed by Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated writer/director Phyllis Nagy, best known to most audiences for the HBO film “Mrs. Harris,” starring Sir Ben Kingsley and Annette Benning.  We are joined by Phyllis to discuss her craft, along with “Neverland” cast members, Lisa Pelikan, Brad Fisher, and Katherine Tozer who discuss the play and beginning the rehearsal proces.   We also focus on the Rogue’s panel discussion on the historical influence of Britain’s Royal Court Theatre on the modern theatrical world.
