No producer should revive a play unless they have a very good reason for it. I think there's quite enough about a good play to make it available to new audiences.

I'm reluctant to use the word class so much.

A conventional playwright tries to tell you more about the characters than they know about themselves.

You're not allowed to step out of whatever the rules are, politically, or socially, and they'll get you for it, they'll hunt you down. That's the really frightening thing.

I don't believe in right-angled turning points.

The classical writers... playwrights, Jacobean, Elizabethan playwrights, all showed areas of all classes and how they live and painted them pretty authentically.
