Theatre should be a taxing experience: the greatest achievement of a writer is to produce a character who creates anxiety.

A good play puts the audience through a certain ordeal.

I'm not interested in observed reality.

I don't like sympathetic characters.

I have plenty of political views and plenty of social and personal prejudices. I do not, however, value them.

I’ve often taken important classical, biblical or literary stories and interrogated them. I have tried to reinvigorate Lot by interpreting it differently.

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