When Polonius asks Hamlet what he reads, Hamlet replies "Words words words". I would give the same answer if asked what I write. Words are important to me, always and everywhere, and my playwrighting is mainly a matter of arranging words in interesting patterns. From the early short plays (MAN was once clocked at 13 minutes) to the full-length dramas like The Lindros Trial, Memphis, and The Emergency Room, my sole focus is putting words on the page that come alive on the stage.
