Our function as playwrights to some extent is to make audiences see with their ears, because films make us see with our eyes much better.
From Peter Shaffer
But the first published thing I did was a detective story, detective novel, and I did that on my own.
I made, over the years in Cambridge, several very good American friends, and America appeared to me, a land of promise in every sense of that word, a land of freedom from the inhibitions and restrictions that I felt in England.
I think I did have fantasies about being an actor. In fact, I know I did.
I think plays, like books, are endemic. They grow out of the soil of the writer and the place he's writing about. I think, you just can't move them about, you know.
I think possibly the first film that has music as its leading character.
