ABSTRACT
for much of my career I was a director as well as a scholar-critic, but in the late 1980s playwriting became much more of a lively interest than directing. After seeing Peter Gill's Mean Tears in London in 1987, I felt that I, too, had to write plays. The first, an opus entitled Zinka's Boys, was too derivative and too autobiographical. Eventually I found my own voice(s), and my plays are now being produced and published.
