Each time we perform it, we come back, tear it apart, and start from scratch. And that cut out a good third of it, which was really nice, because we don't want it to be unbearably long. We make the same mistakes writing plays that I used to make writing songs. When I started writing songs, I thought you had to say everything that you knew in every song. You can always tell a young writer because they always do that.
Writing is fun.
Re-writing is the hard part. Re-writing is the drudgery, where you go back and cut in order to make the pace right, in order to make it flow. You have to decide what are we going to get rid of. Well, because it's human. Nothing that we do should be taken too seriously.
