"I saw Angels in America on Broadway when I was 17. In the scene where Louis and Belize debate race and democracy, something very profound happened to me. I felt alive in a way I had never felt alive in a theatre before. I think I got so excited because I saw that you could both talk about the world in a play as well as use characters’ talking about the world to reveal their individual psychologies. Every play I’ve written has had my version of that scene in it."
