I Think That Anytime You Get Clear

Why Aren't We Looking At The Causes Of Breast Cancer? Why Aren't We Spending Our Energy On Looking At What We're Doing To The Earth? On The Pollutants We're Putting Into The Earth? And The Pesticides We're Putting Into The Earth? What We're Releasing Into The Air? Instead, We Just Cut Off More Organs! That's Where Metaphor Comes Into It - Not Even Metaphor As Much As Reality.

We're Always Learning. We're All In The Process Of Decolonizing Ourselves - Removing All The Parts Of Us That Are Sexist, Homophobic, Transphobic, Racist. I Mean, Everybody In Society Needs To Be In This Process Because Everybody's Been Brought Up In A Misogynist, Racist, Homophobic, Transphobic Culture.

When I Was Younger I Was Much More Polemical And Didactic, Much Less Trusting. Inherently My Own Vision Of The World Would Weave Its Way Through The Characters. Also, My Concerns Are Changing. What Happens Is You Write A Few Plays And Get Boxed Into Some Idea Of What Your Concerns Are And What You're Supposed To Be Writing About.

I Think Culture Is Where Things Change In Us Deeply. But Right Now, I Think That People Are Very Traumatised. They Are Very Scared. Having Grown Up In A House With A Perpetrator Who Was Violent Every Day And Terrorising Every Day, I Feel Like That This Country Is Suddenly Very Much Like The House And The Family I Grew Up In. Every Day We Are Glued To Our Phones, Glued To Our Television; "what Is This Psychopath Going To Do Next? How Will He Embarrass Us? Who Will He Bully Or Hurt Or Humiliate Today? It's So Easy To Get Locked Into A Syndrome Where The Perpetrator Is Ruling Your Life.
