Calling this production 'postponed' does not disguise the fact that it has been cancelled.

I do take my work seriously and the way to do that is not to take yourself too seriously.

My parents certainly didn't have anything to do with the theater. I'm some kind of accident.

I have a love/hate relationship with white silk.

I can only guess at the pressures of funding an independent theater company in New York, but calling this production 'postponed' does not disguise the fact that it has been canceled. This is censorship born out of fear, and the New York Theatre Workshop, the Royal Court, New York audiences-all of us are the losers.
