It's like 3-D chess. And this play was a long time coming, very layered. Jo Bonney asked that I do revisions because after many viewings, some moments rang hollow. Jo has no reverence for the published text. As far as she's concerned, it's not finished until it's finished.
Every show is a new opportunity to complete the work.
By the time the audience is reading this in Washington, we should be just wrapping in Austin where Richard Linklater has been shooting the film. The film is very close to the play. Rick saw it a couple of times at Lincoln Center and felt very good about it. I have been very happy working with him. I am of the theater, he is a lover of film.
