Whatever you may be sure of, be sure of this: That you are dreadfully like other people. – James Russell Lowell, “Democracy Address,” Birmingham, England, 6 October 1884
Since its based on my parents, its more emotionally close to me than some of my more surreal plays. And then I like the balance of the comic and the sad. It should play as funny, but you should care about the characters and feel sad for them. – Christopher Durang
