I never 'say' anything in my work. I invent a world. Let others decide what is being 'said'.

I believe in poetic discourse, in the value of speech in a non-naturalistic way; it's speculative.

I don't like sympathetic characters.

I submit all my plays to the National Theatre for rejection. To assure myself I am seeing clearly.

I'm not interested in observed reality.

I'm not interested in entertainment.

I am so far as I am aware not at all influenced by dramatists, expect for Shakespeare, who I have to say, it is impossible not to be influenced by if you hold language to be the major element of theatre.
