lupita: i wouldn't call it that. would say liesl creates an environment of pursuing your best at all times. the bar is high. and so you have to show up. you shop in the rehearsal and -- you show up in the rehearsal and because the bar is so high, you are challenged to meet that bar. that is what was so riveting about being in that rehearsal room. there was never a day when we were just pacing it out. every moment every personal was a chance to discover something new, to ask questions, and to explore. it was very exciting and also exhausting. danai: what she does is really the thing that is so crucial to this play. you have to find a space where you are vulnerable, but you also have to be pushed to the edge and allow this environment to be quite dangerous and alive. and so liesl creates a situation where she does not let people off the hook. where she does challenge them. but she does allow them to feel very safe. charlie: have elements of a changed much since 2009? liesl: they have because i have grown as a director

lupita: they do want to protect her. well, one in particular, the matriarch of this compound, wants to protect her from what the war can do to a woman in to her body, but unfortunately, very soon when the play starts, she is unable to do that. the new yorktold times, what attracted me to both projects was the agency of those characters. at first glance, they looked like victims, but the writing offers them complexity. what you two have done. this is what you have brought. you have given humanity to people we did not know. you have given a sense that they are real, and human, and while they are suffering. up on theing grown continent, as we'll did, coming to the united states for me was very, very front -- as we all coming to the united states was for me, well, for all verye there he disheartening to see how african-americans are portrayed in the west. it is very statistical. for me as a writer, it is always a goal to create characters swear, you might see this girl as a victim because -- where, you might see this girl is

what's going on, lupita?st so excited about it, and we're a very close-knit cast, and we celebrate each other on a daily basis and all the things we're achieving together and on our own, and i just love being a part of that sisterhood. >> are they still speaking to you because that april fools' prank. you said it was truffles but really it was chocolate covered onions? >> yeah, i know the time of reckoning is coming. i think they're planning something behind my back, but so far so good. they need me for the show, so i'm going to be alive for a little longer. >> they need you for that but it must be wonderful. i mean, all these wonderful roles that are coming your way and that people are embracing you. every time we say that you're coming, grace is the word that comes to mind, people say, and elegance. that must be something that warms your heart. >> of course, it does, and i feel really blessed to be able to play these roles that are so challenging, but also that are changing something in the air, you know, a

lupita nyong'o is the star of the play. directed by leaseil tommy. >> my artistic mandate from the beginning was really quite simple. it was about, number one, telling african women stories and putting them on the american stage and as many stages that would take them. anding number two, it was giving women of the opportunity. my first play in the continuum, i did coperform, and i knew that the next thing-- this was the next play i wrote. and i knew that-- it was very clear to me i wanted to be outside of it. i wanted to have the outside eye and take care of a world of itself. if i'm performing, my brain is working in a whole other way because i'm focusing on the art of a character. but if i'm stepping out and being the creator, i'm allowing myself to simply focus on everything and everyone and creating a cohesive world with several characters versus just myself and my cocreator of my last play. so it was very important to me, actually, that this play was where i step into being that other type of playwright, not the playwr
