"If there's a thing, a scene, maybe, an image that you want to see real bad, that you need to see but it doesn't exist in the world around you, at least not in the form you envision, then you create it so you can look at it and have it around, or show it to other people who wouldn't have imagined it because they perceive reality in a more shallow, predictable way. And that's it. That's all an artist does."
-Tom Robbins, Skinny Legs and All
Duncan had a wonderful book signing and interview at the venerable Drama Book Shop in September 2024, selling out all their copies of his plays that they had in stock. There was a moderated conversation with Duncan about his body of work and his three plays published by Next Stage Press as well as an audience Q&A, all of which was recorded for Drama Book Shop's podcast The Drama Book Show, which is now available to listen to wherever you get your podcasts!
Duncan was interviewed on the podcast Hamlet to Hamilton: Exploring Verse Drama, about his work in verse theatre. Nearly four hours of geeking out about iambic pentameter as used in theatre writing, with examples from Duncan's body of work. Check it out on Spotify or wherever your podcasts are found!
Living Radio!
Duncan is a frequent contributor to the monthly radio play series Living Radio, often as a playwright, but sometimes as an actor or director.
Every month, we re-imagine current events, to envision what a slightly altered world could look like. Playwrights are given a few days, and several conditions, to create a script; using them, teams of directors and actors then collaborate to create radio dramas; and finally, everyone gathers at FRIGID New York‘s UNDER St. Mark’s Theater to present the plays, live.
We record the live performances, and offer free podcasts of each. Hear them all over on the Living Radio website. You can also find us on your favorite streaming platform; just search “living radio nyc".
It's Getting Tired Mildred
Duncan occasionally appears as an actor in the monthly Soap Opera for the Stage, It's Getting Tired Mildred, which is every Second Saturday of the Month at UNDER St. Marks. He plays the draconian Oslo Newling, from the United Catholic Hospitals Compliance Board, here to be sure that the sexy doctors and nurses at Sacred Corpuscle Memorial Hospital keep on the straight and narrow (despite his own secret cocaine addiction)
