A Quote by Skylar Astin

I do come from a theater background, where the playwright is optimal and king and you have to serve the playwright. So I am, of course, a huge fan of scripted everything.

I think in theater the playwright is king. Those words are unchangeable. They are the reason that everything else flows from.

Greta Gerwig

I think a playwright must be his own dramaturg. I believe in a theater where the director and the playwright work together to create what they need.

John Guare

I am not a playwright. A playwright would take "Antigone" and hit it a few clouts and knock it out of shape and restructure it. My versioning was strictly verbal.

Seamus Heaney

Do you know what a playwright is? A playwright is someone who lets his guts hang out on the stage.

Edward Albee

One is just an interpreter of what the playwright thinks, and therefore the greater the playwright, the more satisfying it is to act in the plays.

Vivien Leigh

Stage is the place of the playwright: you're guided by great actors and directors, but it's the playwright's word on the page that counts.

Abi Morgan

I am a playwright. I show What I have seen. In the man markets I have seen how men are traded. That I show, I, the playwright.

Bertolt Brecht

The biggest inspiration for everything I do is, of course, my wife, playwright Ruth McKee.

Brian K. Vaughan

Playwrights are naturally wary and protective - God, who's more protective than a playwright? You read a play, the playwright wants to hear from you immediately.

Gene Saks

Sometimes we go to a play and after the curtain has been up five minutes we have a sense of being able to settle back in the arms of the playwright. Instinctively we know that the playwright knows his business.

Anton Chekhov

One of the things he liked about playwriting as to any other kind of writing is that a playwright is a w-r-i-g-h-t, not a w-r-i-t-e; in other words, that a playwright is more of a craftsman than an artist of the big novel.

Simon McBurney

I'm not a playwright; I'm a writer who loves theater.

Rodman Philbrick

The economics of theater are painful. I still think that the theater community should be looking much more rigorously at how to let the playwright keep the money they make.

Theresa Rebeck

Any actor, any playwright who's worked a life in the theater knows how to do things cheaply and quickly. It's just all by necessity. Invention is everything.

Israel Horovitz

It's a lucky circumstance when you get to usher in new work, because you are able to ask the playwright and the director (who in a new work is always in dialogue with the playwright) an unlimited amount of questions.

Gideon Glick

My theatrical background was in the great work of the South African playwright Athol Fugard.

Danny Glover
