So Then The Next Play Is Always A Rebellion. Or Like, The Thing I Didn't Even Realize I Was Doing Last Time I Will Make Sure I Don't Do This Time. But There's Always Some Other Blind Spot.

For Early Plays Of Mine, I Started With Character. But I Think That's Because I Hadn't Been In Theaters; I Hadn't Worked That Much. I'm Very Interested In Character, Obviously, But Once I Started Having My Plays Produced, I Became So Fascinated By The Theatrical Experiment And The Weirdness Of Theatrical Space, So Now All My Plays Start With Space And Stage Picture And Setting - Or Container Is Maybe The Better Way To Put It.
