We looked at, during rehearsal videos from January sixth, the violence that happens in our play, we made a direct parallel to what happened because there's misinformation and there's manipulation of, listen, people attacked the capital based on absolute lies that was confirmed by pretty much every judge and expert and everybody. Lies and lust for power. People were hurt, and people died as a result of that.

You watched January sixth video to prepare for what is, frankly, one of the toughest scenes in the entire play. Why was that important to go back to January sixth?

It's just something we were talking about, how quickly these... Because it starts with words and ideas, that scene, and how quickly it turns into violence.
