I happened upon this archived pearl. It’s from a 2006 interview by Theatermania with mom playwright Diana Son, as she discussed the world premiere of her play, Satellites.
“My early plays were much more fantastical and adhered more closely to ideas that I developed when I was a young dramatic literature student at NYU. I was very heavily influenced by Brecht and other European writers — but, at some point, I began to feel that I was spending too much time trying not to tell the story I was telling. So I just decided to tell the story.”
Just tell the story. I appreciate this, as I sometimes struggle with writing the story that I think wants to be heard as opposed to the one that needs to be told.
