Art is a subjective thing, and it should be a subjective thing. And the difficulty of subjectivity is that it becomes hugely problematized when you start applying large sums of money to art objects. That's where it all starts to get a bit sticky.

'Malvolio' is the one show of mine that will not die. I've performed it more than 200 times all over the place.

I don't want real life necessarily to be seen only as a context to heighten the deepness my work.

It's important for me, politically, to see that theater isn't just about the powerful.

A mental shutdown can happen when a young person is put in front of a Shakespeare play. My pieces are designed to release young audiences into the story and then creep up with the real Shakespeare, almost by stealth.
