I do think it is a service to the playwright and that's a service to the theater indirectly.

The attendance thing has been the roughest thing.

It's raining the entire first act when they're in London and it's kind of depressing.

It's kind of what I originally thought would be true. I think people are aware we're doing it, and I think we'll keep it in this time slot.

There's always a financial risk. You don't budget to make money on it - or, we never make money - we don't budget for full houses.

There's a lot of comedy in this as well.

We all kind of get to go to Italy. Sometimes you just need a break, and that's sort of what this play is about.

The action is more what happens between the people. We're not blowing up countries or having foreign invaders from other planets or anything.

I think there is a whole invigoration of working on new work that is great for a company.
