I Don't Feel That Catharsis

I Find That When My Plays Are Going Well, They Seem To Resemble Pieces Of Music. But If I Had To Go Into Specifics About It, I Wouldn't Be Able To. It's Merely Something That I Feel.

What Happens In A Play Is Determined To A Certain Extent By What I Thought Might Be Interesting To Have Happen Before I Invented The Characters, Before They Started Taking Over What Happened, Because They Are Three-dimensional Individuals, And I Cannot Tell Them What To Do. Once I Give Them Their Identity And Their Nature, They Start Writing The Play.

The Health Of A Nation, A Society, Can Be Determined By The Art It Demands. We Have Insisted Of Television And Our Movies That They Not Have Anything To Do With Anything, That They Be Our Never-never Land; And If We Demand This Same Function Of Our Live Theatre, What Will Be Left Of The Visual-auditory Arts - Save The Dance (in Which Nobody Talks) And Music (to Which Nobody Listens)?

Well, When I Was Six Years Old I Decided, Not That I Was Going To Be, But With My Usual Modesty, That I Was A Writer.

I Am Sick Of The Disparity Between Things As They Are And As They Should Be. I'm Tired.i'm Tired Of The Truth And I'm Tired Of Lying About The Truth.
