David Hyde Pierce

Pierce discusses his career and latest project, directing a Los Angeles production of Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, in this interview for PBS.

There are so many bad productions of Chekov, because he’s really hard to do. Because it’s not slapstick, it’s not drama; it’s kind of like real life. There’s a great quote about The Cherry Orchard, someone had said about his play The Cherry Orchard: “Nothing happens except one world ends and another begins.”
