We Live In A World Where Amnesia

What I Hate About Kitchen-sink Dramas Is [this Idea] That The Set Is Real, Therefore You're Going To Be Seeing Truth. You Have To Earn Truth. Truth Can't Be A Part Of The Fact That People Appear To Talk That Way And Live In That Room. You're Looking For The Poetry In Something, And I Don't Mean Poetry In The Fancy Sense. Naturalism Believes By Just Replicating A Thing You Give The Truth, Rather Than Earning The Truth.

I Think That Some Of These Plays Are Lost In This New Horror Called Development, Which Is A Place For Dramaturgs To Say "let Me Tell You What Your Play Means," And The Life Gets Sucked Out Of A Play.

Oh God, I'd Just Hate It If A Certain Dramaturg Got A Hold Of A Pinter Play, For Example, Which Are All Mystery And All Music. That's How The Life Get's Sucked Out Of Plays.

I Think That Every Year That The New York City Ballet Is Alive Is Worthy Of Celebration. Because Otherwise The Terrible Thing Is Just That We Take It For Granted.

There's No American Playwright After 1945 Who Wasn't Profoundly Affected - Who Didn't Have Their Dna Changed By Tennessee Williams.
