“If I were less lazy, when my play was published, I would go and rewrite everything for the reader. But I don't do that. What people are reading is just me trying to get the actors and directors to do something or think about something.” PeopleIfsThinkingTryingPlayReadingActorsReaderDirectorsLazy Author:Annie Baker
“If I think back to every rehearsal process for every play I've ever worked on, there's just so much crying at home. I barely sleep. There are moments of deep despair and anxiety, and then there are moments in rehearsal that are the most exhilarating; feeling seen and seeing everybody. Feeling like you have a purpose on the planet. A huge part of the process I enjoy is watching the actors figuring out what they can handle and what they can take and what they need from the director and me.” IfsThinkingNeedsPlayMomentsFeelingsHomePurposeActorsProcessEnjoySleepSeeingCryPlanetsHugeLike YouDirectorsDespairAnxietyHandleRehearsalExhilaratingExhilarating Feeling Author:Annie Baker
