{ PLAYWRITING }
"A play is a pheonix and it dies a thousand deaths. Usually at night. In the morning it springs up again from its ashes and crows like a happy rooster. An artist must believe in himself. Your belief is contagious. Others may say he is vain, but they are affected." - Tennessee Williams
