...art is always about relationship - to the material, to the self, and to the world in all its chaos and intrusion, its terror and its glory.

A Playwright was Born on this Day

August 31st, 2009

William Saroyan
Fresno, California
August 31, 1908

I think we’re all crazy. It came to me while I was on my way to Pier 27. All of a sudden it hit me like a ton of bricks. A thing like that never happened to me before. Here we are in this wonderful world, full of all the wonderful things-here we are-all of us, and look at us. Just look at us. We’re crazy. We’re nuts. We’ve got everything, but we always feel lousy and dissatisfied just the same.

Krupp, The Time of Your Life, p.93

Matt Crowley

There’s something very poignant about the humanity. And very compelling. Something about the fraility of group of vulnerable human beings, struggling valiantly against their darker instincts.

Patrick, For Reasons that Remain Unclear,p.303,
