My plays are driven by ideas. I would define success on my terms as being able to push those ideas as far as I can in my writing (without neglecting the need to also have a good time!). Because the ideas steer my work I’m fascinated when people dismiss them. I don’t feel rejected personally. I’m intrigued by bad reviews for my work – they’re the only reviews I read. They’re the ones I post. Maybe if ALL my reviews were bad I would do something about it, but I’m inspired by the thought that we are all different. Some of us voted for Brexit. Some of us think Trump is god’s representative on earth. How could I possibly want to make work that everyone likes?
