Olivier Award winning playwright and director Conor McPherson talks candidly about the importance of finding the right focus and drive, why he believes good news can be equally as traumatic as bad and how to pursue your passion while still putting food on the table. Jarlath and Conor chat about the way in which knowledge affects the purity of art and we get an insight into the process of casting Hollywood stars. Conor speaks about being spotted by an agent, his surprisingly critical view of his smash hit play The Weir, writing for TV and much much more.
