Verse comedy is interesting to me because of the challenge of writing in rhymed couplets, which is not a form that's usually amenable to English, yet to me it gives great possibility for comedy.

Writing a play, you start with less, so more is demanded of you. It's as if you have to not only write a symphony, but invent the instruments as well.

With my plays, when the lights go down, at least the audience isn't thinking, 'Oh, God, two more hours of this.'

Plays are always about intense relationships, whether they're intense love relationships or family relationships or existential relationships.
