PODCAST INTRO: Anna and Hannah ii-Epstein are the co-artistic directors of “Nothing Without a Company” theater troupe. I first encountered “Nothing Without a Company” in 2012, when I experienced their insightful and original production “Loom”… Since then, I’ve seen and reviewed “Down the Moonlit Path,” a sensational interactive play, the frenetic “Punk Punk” – which was written by Hannah – and currently “The Kid Thing,” which we talk about in this interview. Listen now to the podcast interview below!
