Director Dimiter Gotscheff talks about the profession of the theatrical director and about his new play based on the tragedy by Aeschylus “The Persians,” which will be performed at the end of July in Epidaurus. When his colleague Heiner Müller told him that “directors are beggars, who live off of the alms of actors,” Gotscheff agreed but added that “you need to ask for something very politely, in order to receive it.” Until now, he is doing great!
