"Rehearsing a play is making the word flesh. Publishing a play is reversing the process." - Peter Shaffer
"I began my talk by saying that I had not written my plays for purposes of discussion. At once, I felt a ripple of panic run through the hall. I suddenly realised why.

"If you want to help the American theater, don't be an actress, be an audience. " - Tallulah Bankhead
