Artistic Statement
My goal is to write plays that are full of raw, muscular humanity and peopled with juicy, scenery-chewing characters that actors will die to gobble up. In all of my plays, I make it a priority to create stereotype-busting roles for women. In my political plays, I try to find the electrifying middle ground between personal story and political metaphor. In my psychological plays, I explore the extremes of humanity; burrowing through to the kernel of hope and beauty that lies in the midst of even the most heinous acts. I believe that a play should be a challenge to the mind, a revelation for the heart, and a raw, joyful collision between human beings.
