To Write A Play One Must Be

Any Definition Which Limits Us Is Deplorable.

In The Thirties A Whole School Of Criticism Bogged Down Intellectually In Those Agitprop, Social-realistic Days. A Play Had To Be Progressive. A Number Of Plays By Playwrights Who Were Thought Very Highly Of Then - They Were Very Bad Playwrights - Were Highly Praised Because Their Themes Were Intellectually And Politically Proper. This Intellectual Morass Is Very Dangerous, It Seems To Me. A Form Of Censorship.

I Said I Was Impressed, Martha. I'm Beside Myself With Jealousy. What Do You Want Me To Do, Throw Up?

The Thing That Makes A Creative Person Is To Be Creative And That Is All There Is To It.

I Don't Set Out To Write A Play A Year. Sometimes I've Written Two Plays A Year. There Was A Period Of A Year And Half When I Only Wrote Half A Play. If It Depresses Some Critics That I Seem Prolific, Well, That's Their Problem As Much As Mine.
