A-Train, Suspense, Scat

Studio 360

Kurt Andersen and playwright Wendy Wasserstein explore how artists embrace and avoid all kinds of creative deadlines. We’ll meet a group of young playwrights who have only the length of a subway ride to complete their masterpiece and we’ll take a trip into the mind of Alfred Hitchcock, the master of the ticking clock.
