Lauren Gunderson is on a roll: nine plays produced by Bay Area theater companies in less than three years. In this hour, we’ll talk about two of those productions, both of which had their world premieres this month: “I and You,” now at the Marin Theater Company, follows two teenagers who are forced to work together on a project about poet Walt Whitman and “The Taming,” a modern political take on Shakespeare.

Guests:

Lauren Gunderson, playwright, with four plays premiering in the Bay Area this year
