David Henry Hwang Romances The Word

From the beginning, playwright David Henry Hwang found the theater fascinating because of the way in which words could fill a stage.

“Theater is inherently metaphorical. Film is supposed to be real,” he observes, reflecting on more than 30 years of experience as a scribe of plays, film, librettos, TV and texts for dance. Thus, Hwang’s ideas for characters in a play often come from unexpected places. In a seminal workshop with Sam Shepard, he learned how to write from his unconscious.
