People's University: Backstage at Peer Gynt - Presented by Guthrie Theatre Artists January 24, 2008

This winter the Guthrie Theater will present Peer Gynt, a timeless and rarely-produced masterpiece, with a newly commissioned translation by prolific poet and Minnesota native Robert Bly. Bold, raucous, and satirically funny, this charming fantasy play captures the misadventures of the charismatic Peer Gynt on a journey to find his place in the world. Get the inside scoop on the newest production of the Guthrie Theater when Carla Steen (Literary Department) discusses the text, Craig Pettigrew (Assistant Technical Director) talks about building the set, the Property Mistress discusses the props, and Amy Schmidt (Costume Director) talks about the costumes for this eagerly awaited production.
