Flux Theatre Ensemble

1. What is your favorite Shakespeare play?

For comedies - I think Twelfth Night and for tragedies probably Hamlet. but these change when I see good productions.

2. What is your favorite line of text?

"With a hey and a ho and a heynonino."

3. Does Shakespeare influence your writing at all?

Hard not to, for him and all the studying they had me do. I went to school in the U.K.and from what I remember, Shakespeare & his contemporaries - folks whoradically re-worked him (Berkoff & Marowitz) - are about the only texts we got into deeply.
