Playwright's Voice: a Forum on Playwriting

Haresh: It is not so much that I want to reduce my role, but to write a text in terms of working with the ensemble. That means incorporating other aspects of theatre like movement and using texts from the actors themselves. And when I work with directors I tell them: if you can summarise one page of my lines into an action, do it. Because the writing itself is not really the point of the whole play.
