I think that some of these plays are lost in this new horror called development, which is a place for dramaturgs to say "let me tell you what your play means," and the life gets sucked out of a play.

All the New York City Ballet does is hit beautiful home runs.

I'm sure there are some good dramaturgs but I've never worked with one.

Eugene O'Neil created an American theater, and Tennessee Williams taught it how to sing.

I think a playwright must be his own dramaturg. I believe in a theater where the director and the playwright work together to create what they need.

What we're dealt with hopefully is two arms, two eyes, two legs, a head, a heart. The variations, the extensions, the possibilities of the human body, what that can do

Everyone talks about America, this great country. You hear, "I'm more patriotic than you are. No, I'm more patriotic!" But how few people know the history of this country and how we came into being. That's the part that just amazed me.
