Quote

Each play I write has its own unique origin story.

I write plays about big, intense subjects.

For me, the original play becomes an historical document: This is where I was when I wrote it, and I have to move on now to something else.

I think what helps me when I'm working on a play, any play, is the degree to which the writer has truly visualized, and then fulfilled, the vision of the world that he or she is creating.

My plays are ultimately about love, honor, duty, betrayal.

Everyone thinks they can write a play; you just write down what happened to you. But the art of it is drawing from all the moments of your life.

Of course the playing is important but writing and the establishing of what you are going for is prime too.

I've never written a play before, and I'll never write one again. You can quote me.

Any play that's making a point is less interesting than something that stays with you and suggests something further.

Plays are about understanding what happens, what it means. If we just leaned into the story, for lack of a better word, it would still be a powerful story but, like delight, it might disappear an hour after you saw it.
