A Good House

Favourite stage direction: “This text needs to go FAST. Like really fast. Don’t give us time to catch our breath. All the chattering is really just to cover up the fact that the silence is oppressive. And that no one is listening to anyone else. Not really. So we almost don’t breathe. Until we do.” (Amy Jephta’s A Good House)
