“Chekhov directors and Chekhov actors love working on his plays because...” — Tom Stoppard Quote

“Chekhov directors and Chekhov actors love working on his plays because there seems to be no end to what you can find out about the micro-narrative when you're investigating a text.”

“In January 1962, when I was the author of one and a half unperformed plays, I attended a student production of 'The Birthday Party' at the Victoria Rooms in Bristol. Just before it began, I realised that Harold Pinter was sitting in front of me.”

“The possibilities are infinite with new writing; every time you open a new script, there's no limit to what it might contain.”

“I think it would be difficult to explore some aspects of Ted's past, because 'Line of Duty' investigates fictitious police forces - you never know, and you should never know, who it is we might be investigating.”

“I'm sure they're investigating everyone who was in the area.”

“I really like investigating the things that make us human.”
