The Craft with Donnetta Lavinia Grays
Once you have an idea, how do you proceed? Do you take notes? Do you outline? Do you plunge right in?
It depends on the project, but I am generally someone who prefers to dive right in. Usually, I have a firm idea about how I want a play to work – the premise, maybe the style and the players – but I don’t limit myself beyond those parameters. I need to write myself into a lot of corners to inspire a little surprise. This may or may not be true, but I feel like if I know where the play is going then the audience will too.
