When I write a play there's no single sure track to run on. It's different each time I start. Each time is starting from scratch, a reinvention of form. There may be easier ways to do it, but for me, that's how it is. There are no rules that always apply. If I teach a playwriting class, I set up exercises, so people can learn some possible different approaches. I would be loathe to prescribe one single approach. As you catch me just about to start something—which is always a peculiar time fora writer—I find it even more difficult to tell you how I go about things
