The article
The author underlined that it would be hard to imagine someone less likely to
be the director of a Broadway musical than John Tiffany. He’s a
scruffy, straightforward Yorkshireman, who talks nineteen to the dozen, was once
literary manager for the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh, and built his subsequent
career on championing new writing.
It's the fact that Yet Once, a delicate, charming story of love,
friendship and music, based on the popular Irish film of the same name, turned
him into one of the hottest directors in America, winning eight Tony awards, including best
director. It is now beginning previews in London, where it is likely to garner
just as much praise.
There is a small part of the interview of Sarah Crompton and John Tiffany.
-"Well that’s all very well, but there’s no choreography and where is your set?’ ”
-"Well that’s all very well, but there’s no choreography and where is your set?’ ”
He laughs, his entire face creasing. -“You can only make the work that you
have to make. And I am old enough now to know that I can’t start making shows
that are going to win awards. That way madness lies.”
The work that transformed Tiffany’s reputation was,
in fact, not Once, but Black Watch, Gregory Burke’s gritty
drama about soldiers from the Scottish regiment who served in Iraq. In the hands
of Tiffany and his key collaborator Steven Hoggett (a friend from childhood) it
became something else: a visceral, haunting evocation of the lives of military
men, their hopes and dreams.
