"The problem with our playwrights is that they're all so polite. They daren't say anything about anybody, unless they're slagging off America. What would Joe Orton do if he were alive? He'd go around, find the open wound and pour salt in it."

(Editor's Note: The link on Richard Bean will take you to the entire article Mr Pogue is quoting from. Aspiring playwrights, it is well worth the read...)
