The Arbor

— “The Arbor” was really interesting/different. The director had spent a couple of years gather audio interviews to use British playwright Andrea Dunbar, who died young and of one of her now adult daughters. Scenes with actors lip-syncing the edited audio interviews were separated by scenes for Dunbar’s play, “The Arbor.” Really a fascinating technique that worked.
