Marlo Thomas and Lisa Emery share the stage in Broadway's Relatively Speaking (an evening of one-acts written by Elaine May, Woody Allen, and Ethan Coen). In the Wing's latest Downstage Center they get together to swap stories on the craft they love and how they got where they are today. Ms. Thomas begins as the interviewer but soon a conversation ensues about mutual director horror stories, women in the theatre, pre-show rituals, the inspiration they receive from hearing the audience entering the empty space, and, of course, Relatively Speaking and working with Elaine May's words and John Turturro's direction. They wrap it up discussing their "big breaks" - Ms. Thomas with Neil Simon's Barefoot in the Park and Ms. Emery with Lanford Wilson's Burn This.
