If You Have No Wounds, How Can

If You Want A Commercial Success - It's The Confusion Of Commerce With Art. A Successful Play Is Not Considered To Be The Best Written. It Is The One That Sells The Most Tickets. Those Standards Are Destructive [to Theatre].

The Act Of Creation, As You Very Well Know, Is A Lonely And Private Matter And Has Nothing To Do With The Public Area... The Performance Of The Work One Creates.

I Don't Feel That Catharsis In A Play Necessarily Takes Place During The Course Of A Play. Often It Should Take Place Afterward.

By Some Curious Mischance, A Couple Of My Plays Managed To Hit An Area Where Commercial Success Was Feasible. But It's Wrong To Think I'm A Commercial Playwright Who Has Somehow Ceased His Proper Function. I Have Always Been The Same Thing - Which Is Not A Commercial Playwright. I'm Not After The Brass Ring.

Progress Is A Set Of Assumptions.
