Tony Fitzpatrick is known primarily for his collages, which hang in galleries and on the walls of private collectors. But like many artists, Fitzpatrick fuels his creativity by expressing himself in a variety of ways. He’s a poet, and actor, and playwright. His play This Train is a pastiche of songs, stories, musings, rants, and history. Fitzpatrick and the play’s director Ann Filmer recently spoke with WBEZ’s Steve Edwards.
