In a past time on Broadway, the renowned filmmaker Quentin Tarantino expressed his disenchantment with cinema. During an interview at Sundance, he stated, “As a director, I feel like I’ve accomplished most of what I set out to do.” Instead, he has decided to take on theater, expressing his eagerness for the challenge. He explained, “The prospect of staging a play is a significant endeavor, and that’s precisely why it’s thrilling.” Although details about the play’s subject matter remain unclear, there are suggestions that Patti LuPone could be an ideal candidate to join the cast. It’s believed their collaboration would be a delightful match!

You have the audience’s full attention for the entire performance each night. It’s a fantastic evening out. It’s worth it for them.
