	TEXT ON SCREEN: 
Meet Skye Brandon, Director of A Few Good Men

What is the play about?	
AUDIO	VIDEO	
SKYE BRANDON: Two Marines and charged with murder, conspiracy and conduct unbecoming and the death of one of the fellow soldiers, and it follows three lawyers in particular as they go to defend these two Marines.	Skye Brandon, who directs “A Few Good Men”, sits in the theatre auditorium and speaks to the camera.

	TEXT ON SCREEN: 
The play was written in 1989. How are the themes relevant now?	
[AUDIO CONTINUES]

SKYE BRANDON: Something that's occurred to me is we’re working on it now, maybe kind of post-pandemic, as we’re coming up the other side, is that for an organization, like the armed forces, and in this case, the Marines, that are all about being a unit and a team, and a family, ultimately, if you go high enough, if some of those people are looking out only for themselves, and that kind of defeats the whole purpose. 

There’s something about teamwork and working together to achieve a goal that I think just kind of pops in this play a little bit more than it ever did to me before when I read it.	SKYE BRANDON continues speaking to the camera.
	
	TEXT ON SCREEN: 
Any similarities between preparing for a trial and preparing a play for the stage?	
[AUDIO CONTINUES]

SKYE BRANDON: Oh God, that’s a good question. Well, I’ve never been a lawyer, so I can’t maybe speak to that specifically. 

Generally, I try to have a plan as prepared as I can be, but then part of that plan is also be ready to change on a moment’s notice.	SKYE BRANDON continues speaking to the camera.
	
	TEXT ON SCREEN: 
Why should people see this play?	
[AUDIO CONTINUES]

SKYE BRANDON: I think people will assume they know it better than they do. I find that with titles that are familiar or plays that are also films. 

I think people will really find it entertaining, and leave the theatre feeling something as well. 	SKYE BRANDON continues speaking to the camera.
