The War of Art. I’ve recently come to understand that producing New Plays is not unlike preparing for battle. I visited Winston Churchill’s war room in London a few weeks ago and found myself fascinated by the planning and precision needed to mount a successful engagement. I’m not saying we see audiences as the enemy, or that Skylight is in any way going to assault you, instead our hope is that you’ll laugh and think a little, but that’s the extent of our trying to conquer you. Back to preparing for theatrical battle: Our infantry is comprised of the actors and crew; our generals are the directors and designers. All have trained long and hard and some have done numerous tours of duty with us. Last, and most important, are the secret weapons we use to achieve victory… the writer’s words. In Skylight’s case, our weapons have not been “field tested”, instead our entire arsenal is being unveiled to you for the first time. If we have all done our jobs right, if our maps and strategies are correct, we will be victorious tonight, tomorrow, and at each performance. In our battle scenario, no combatants will be harmed, no prisoners taken -- instead hearts and minds will grow larger, more thoughtful, and perhaps more compassionate to each other. This is a war worth fighting.
