Anyone Can Write Five People Trapped In A Snowstorm. The Question Is How You Get Them Into The Snowstorm. It's Hard To Write A Good Play Because It's Hard To Structure A Plot. If You Can Think Of It Off The Top Of Your Head, So Can The Audience. To Think Of A Plot That Is, As Aristotle Says, Surprising And Yet Inevitable, Is A Lot, Lot, Lot Of Work.
