""There are many, many roads that could lead one to Wallace Shawn, but behind this extraordinary range lies Wally's perhaps 'truer' self: that of a playwright.""
"The festival treats Shawn less like a quirky supporting player and more like a singular creative force who's been hiding in plain sight."
"The idea reportedly came together during rehearsals for Shawn's latest play, with collaborators diving deep into his filmography and realizing just how much ground it covers."
"Shawn seems both amused and genuinely moved by the attention, reflecting on his decades-long career in film and theater."
A two-week film festival titled "Wallace Shawn: The Master Builder" will take place at Metrograph in New York from May 8 to May 22. The series features a range of Shawn's work, including cult classics and rarely screened films. It emphasizes his role as a playwright alongside his acting career. Notable screenings include "Vanya on 42nd Street" and "A Master Builder." The festival aims to present Shawn as a significant creative force rather than just a supporting actor, reflecting on his extensive filmography.
