Even Noise sprang from that most common of situations - neighbours arguing about noise levels. But both seem to influence her choice of plays and her desire to tell stories. Telling stories is such a good way of drawing people in. It engages people on a deep level. I am interested in those kinds of stories, and theatre is a really good way of exploring the contradictions in people - their very many facets.
People are complicated.
It is not as simple as saying that Iago is more interesting than Othello. Certainly it is not the case in Morris's latest production, Navy Pier, a play about writing, ambition and creative and intellectual ownership, which opens the Soho's second season this week. Like almost all of the Soho's plays, this is theatre that approaches its subject slightly off centre but with a nose for accessibility. The chances are that it will be yet another hit. But Morris is taking no bets.
