I think it should take place in the mind of the spectator sometime afterwards. I dismiss all labels. Theatre of the Absurd. Angry Young Man. Playwright of Protest.
Labels are so facile, and they're a substitute for conscientious analysis so much of the time.
I like to think that my plays are out to change people, out to make them more aware of themselves and to point out misuse of consciousness. I have been both overpraised and underpraised. You can't involve yourself with the vicissitudes of fashion or critical response.
