Biko Eisen-Martin: Table 17 and The Bay Area

Season Two rolls on with Biko Eisen-Martin, the force at the center of the Geffen Playhouse’s West Coast Premiere of Table 17.

Biko sits with The Frogs to break down what it means to carry a story this raw. We dive into the emotional architecture behind playing Dallas, both in the new Geffen production and in the original MCC Off-Broadway run.

We also look back at the path that shaped him:

Lift (Off-Broadway), Hamlet, Pac and Biggie Are Dead, Taming of the Shrew, Ruined, King Lear, Radio Golf, The XIXth at The Old Globe, and Topdog/Underdog. 

Each role sharpening his instrument. Each play adding weight to his presence onstage. 

This episode is about discipline and the deep work required to hold space for stories that matter.

Biko shows us what it looks like when an actor is fully alive in the work. 

As always,  Theatre. Culture. Vibe.
