'I know a lot of people who have developed fairly thick concepts of play development and what plays should have. They'll look for the underlying spine, the clarity of the central action, the movement and objectives of the characters, the clarity of the climax, and yada yada yada yada yada. Well, fine. . . . I also know there are plays that have all of those things and are completely uninteresting.'

-- Oskar Eustis
