The Civic Sessions: Jack Gleeson
![]( "Hosted by imgur.com")
This is a 15 minute podcast interview with Jack Gleeson. It won't embed, so you can either go to the source or CLICK HERE to listen. And since I certainly don't expect you fine folk to listen to the whole thing (altho if you've got the time then yeah), I have summarized it below:
- Considers his work on GoT a "job" that he just shows up to, does his work, and then leaves when it's done
- Likes his theater work because it's more collaborative: "not about the professional aspect of it, but making theater with my friends"
- Doesn't consider himself an academic, but someone with academic interests
- Talks about devised pieces vs. improvised pieces vs. scripted pieces
- Talks about the collaborative creative process his theatre company adopts (he gets kind of technical here)
- Says he doesn't dislike scripted work (aka work like GoT)
- His dream role is Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream: "I've never got to play him, but I feel like my personality would lend itself well to playing Puck."
- Talks about how pleasant people are who come up to him and how humbling it can be (people in pubs are the friendliest, lol)
- Talks about Collapsing Horse's new piece The Event, which is a sci-fi play centered around the rarity of paper in the future
- His theatre company, Collapsing Horse, has been given a residency at the Civic Theatre. So they're basically just being given a space to create and preview shows, which is totally awesome.
- They're also going to teach puppetry classes to young people because puppetry is cool.
Collapsing Horse also features Writer: Eoghan Quinn / Puppeteer: Aaron Heffernan / Design: Colm McNally / Music :Danny Forde / Performer/Ass. Producer: Jack Gleeson / Producer: Matthew Smyth
