#4.4 Summoning Magic with Daniel K. Isaac
Daniel K. Isaac, star of stage and (TV) screen joins hosts Harrow & Meghan for an in-depth discussion of his theatrical work, particularly his play Once Upon a (Korean) Time and his role in Noah Diaz’s You Will Get Sick. We fanqueer over Ryan Haddad’s Dark Disabled Stories and learn about the inspiration and research behind Daniel’s work (including his Mom). We discuss the importance of overcoming design hurdles and demanding big production value, letting go during the writing process and generational resilience. We react very excitedly to Daniel’s book references and recommendations and his many Queering the Canon suggestions. Finally, we start petitioning to get Daniel to play Marx in an eventual screen adaptation of Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin and Daniel promises to keep writing. Daniel K.
