On this episode of the Talkies, guest host Max Pringle talks impeachment with Foreign Policy magazine reporter Amy Mackinnon. Then it’s all about holiday theater productions in the Bay Area as Max chats with co-director Marc Bruni and cast member Arya Shahi of “the Tale of Despereux” now playing at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre. Then Nick Ishimaru joins us. He’s Artistic Director of the Theatre of Yugen in San Francisco. This holiday season the Yugen presents the “Noh Christmas Carol.” It’s East meets west as Charles Dickens’ classic “Christmas Carol” is retold through traditional Japanese theater forms.
