Rachel Weisz for @nytmag, out in print this coming weekend. Check out @alexandrakleeman’s piece on Weisz’s new psychological thriller “Dead Ringers.” It was an enormous gift to work with a subject so open and trusting of the ideas I brought to set. Rachel is as kind and brilliant as they come.

Thank you so much to @amykellner, @kathyryan and the whole team at @nytmag.

Back in February, I had the opportunity to create visuals, with photo direction by the great @kathyryan, for this year’s Broadway revival of Death of a Salesman. Here are some of my favorites. Regardless of any personal connection to this play, it is one of the most moving and creative performances I’ve seen, and I’ve been encouraging everyone I know to go see it before the show closes in August. Buy your ticket before it wins all the Tony Awards next week and sells out.

Many thanks to @omdkc @rcitheatricals
