A play is a parenthesis that contains all the material you think has to be contained for the action of the play. Where do you end that? Where the characters seem to come to a pause... where they seem to want to stop - rather like, I would think, the construction of a piece of music.

I am not interested in living in a city where there isn't a production by Samuel Beckett running.

Every writer's got to pay some attention, I suppose, to what his critics say because theirs is a reflection of what the audience feels about his work.

Writing has got to be an act of discovery. Finding out things about what one is writing about.

I imagine as an axiom you could say that the better the play, the less "creativity" the director need exert.

I suspect that the theme, the nature of the characters, and the method of getting from the beginning of the play to the end is already established in the unconscious.

Some things that make sense to me don't make the same degree of sense to other people.
