 There is no doubting that Michael Colgan is one of the most influential personalities of Irish theatre. For almost a quarter of a century he has been associated with the Gate Theatre, where he has been responsible for a body of work that has garnered national and international acclaim. In recent years he has moved into film, notably producing the Beckett on Film project, which filmed all nineteen of Beckett’s stage plays. This interview will explore the business of being creative as well as the relationship between the roles of entrepreneur, artistic director and impresario.
