Description from the creator

How do you approach a play as a Director? Is the playwright supreme, or is the director most important? In any case, if you are a director, the Number One thing to do is to figure out exactly what the play is about. Look at the content and decide what the theme is. Style must always come from Theme, not vice versa. If you impose your own style on the play, you are playing God. This in not your job. This is one of the (few) rewards available to the Playwright, so be nice to them. Direct your actors, don't try to re-write the play.
