The theaters might be closed, but Oskar Eustis is bringing the theater to you. As artistic director at New York's Public Theater – which has hosted hits like Hamilton ­– Eustis has now made a Zoom-inspired drama called "What Do We Need to Talk About?", available for free online. He speaks with Michel Martin about how this might represent a return to the essence of the craft of theater.
