In this episode we get into a hilarious yet insightful conversation with Swedish actor and theater maker Maximilian Johnsson right on the brink of his newest production, A Man Called Paris - an Off-Off-Broadway queer parody of Romeo and Juliet. Max shared his journey from a drama school in Stockholm to the stages of New York, how he became New York's Swedish go-to Shakespeare connoisseur, his views on competition in the creative field, and much more.
