THEATER TALK to Welcome ECLIPSED's Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira & Liesl Tommy This Weekend

An all-new THEATER TALK presents playwright Danai Gurira, actress Lupita Nyong'o and director Liesl Tommy discussing their collaboration on Eclipsed, Gurira's powerful drama about young women kidnapped and used as "wives" by warlords in the Liberian civil war. The play explores the women's strategies to survive and their struggle to find a way out of their situation for all the women in their country.

Also on the program, journalists Adam Feldman, President of the Drama Critics' Circle and critic for Time Out New York, along with Imogen Lloyd Webber, Senior Editor of Broadway.com, handicap the approaching TONY AWARDS race and speculate on how the incoming 2016 spring shows may measure up against this season's odds-on winner of every Broadway accolade, Hamilton.
