To me the play is never just the play but it’s the whole journey to it.

To me, it’s always been a matter of: Do your homework and be committed to the extent that you can capture that world. I think I’m open.

The play is my gut's response to stories that have to do with my own bloodline. I think it is a great luxury and adventure to be able to dive into one's own history, one's own lineage, psychology and story, and illumine and at the same time fictionalize it.
