"Billy Crudup speaks with Downstage Center"

As posted las week, The American Theatre Wing site has the interview with Billy:

Billy Crudup recalls how he messed up his first audition but still managed to be cast in his Broadway debut, Arcadia; describes the communal spirit that guided the 2002 production of The Elephant Man, and how it differed from his work with director Simon McBurney in The Resistible Rise Of Arturo Ui; relates the thrill of manipulating audiences in Martin McDonagh's The Pillowman; and reflects on whether we -- and he -- should be reading up on Russian history to prepare for The Coast Of Utopia.

Now it's up to listen and download here.

By the way, I'm a new member of the staff and I'm going to update with news, articles and reviews as they appear.
