Other people's lives come at us without a backstory most of the time. The present is like that.
From Tom Stoppard
Why should I write a play? I don't have to write a play, do I? But somehow, I think that's what I'm here for, so I'd better do it.
The whole excitement for writing anything is quite intense. And for a day or two, you think you've done everything extremely well. The problems start on the third day, and continues for the rest of your life.
Despite the digital age, there is a very large number of venues and spaces that are looking for plays, and many of them are looking for new plays.
Theatre probably originated without texts, but by the time we get to the classical Greek period, theatre has become text-based.
Personally, I read reviews because I'm interested by them, but they don't have utility for me.
It's very common for people to recommend something to me because they're going on what I've already written, when, what really is the case, is that you want to write about something you haven't written about, in ways that you haven't done before.
Like almost everything else from the West, the Romantic Revolution arrived late in Russia.
I think probably I've been influenced by Chekhov and Walt Disney, if you see what I mean.
