Join playwright Kari Bentley-Quinn and actor Marie-Claire Erdynast as they discuss Kari’s plays, including THE WORST MOTHER IN THE WORLD, which spark conversations from the serious–motherhood, postpartum depression, the importance of addressing mental health issues, how audiences react to complicated female characters, online misogyny and harassment–to lighter fare, like newly adopted kittens, the cities they love, and crying as an actor. Can you guess which city Kari cheats on New York with?
