I Do Not Invent Characters. There They Are. That's Who They Are. That's Their Nature. They Talk And They Behave The Way They Want To Behave. I Don't Have A Character Behaving One Way, Then A Point Comes In The Play Where The Person Has To Either Stay Or Leave. If I Had It Plotted That The Person Leaves, Then The Person Leaves. If That's What The Person Wants To Do. I Let The Person Do What The Person Wants Or Has To Do At The Time Of The Event.

All Plays Are Social Comment To One Extent Or Another.
