'Find the story and tell the story. That's it really. But I also try to: build teams that have great times making great shows; make theatre that people find surprising, delightful, beautiful; make theatre that tickles, that sticks to you like a burr; to make theatre that uses the special qualities that only theatre has ? immediacy, intimacy, the actor-audience relationship.'

'When I direct I imagine my two sons sitting by my side, watching the rehearsals. I make the plays for them: out of the corner of my eye I can see if they like it. If they are engaged, laughing, moved, those sorts of things, I carry on. If they have nodded off, I call a tea break.'
