Playwright Lee Blessing talks about his play Going to St. Ives with its theme, of politics, women, and motherhood, and its similarities to his best-known play A Walk In The Woods. Blessing explains how his writing evolved from emulating historical playwrights to penning contemporary stories influenced by his Midwest upbringing; the varied topical issues of his works; the contrast between having an American drama produced on Broadway or in regional theaters; the value in play development workshops such as the O'Neill Playwrights Conference; and his upcoming works: The Scottish Play and A Body of Water.
