It was important to me that people know that you can make plays and raise children at the same time - for other mothers, for other parents, for other women considering having children and who want to be working and thinking and contemplating and making things while they're raising children.
Sarah RuhlI try to interpret how people subjectively experience life. Everyone has a great, horrible opera inside him. I feel that my plays, in a way, are very old-fashioned. Theyโre pre-Freudian in the sense that the Greeks and Shakespeare worked with similar assumptions. Catharsis isnโt a wound being excavated from childhood.
