It is a common saying and in everybody's mouth that life is but a sojourn.
Though I was excited about the Sojourner Truth play it was not reassuring to think that my entire future might depend on the success of that one show.
The state of New Jersey is really two places - terrible cities and wonderful suburbs. I live in the suburbs the final battleground of the American dream where people get married and have kids and try to scratch out a happy life for themselves. It's very romantic in that way but a bit naive. I like to play with that in my work.
