A Playwright Was Born This Day

February 3rd, 2010

Sarah Kane
Brentwood, Essex, U.K.

(Left us: Feb 20, 1999)

You can’t second-guess audiences and you can’t control how they will respond to any given theatrical experience. I wouldn’t want to try to create a reaction, but you have to know what you want to do to them. What I think about when writing is how I want it to affect me and the best way to achieve that.

Sarah Kane
Rage and Reason: Women Playwrights on Playwriting, Methuen Drama, 1997.
