Playwright Wendy Beckett is currently enjoying the world premiere of her “A Better Place” at the Duke on 42nd Street, a play about three of New Yorkers’ favorite things: “love, lust, and real estate.” She took her camera to rehearsals to document some of what goes into staging a world premiere, and shares the photos with Backstage!

The actors gather for Day 1.

Six characters being conjured up.


Our illustrious director, Evan Bergman, happy with a new puzzle and a new script to crack.

The perfect backdrop for a play about modern real estate.

The happy producer: Michael Parva, artistic-producing director of the Directors Company.
