In many ways, theatre is more rewarding for a writer. I used to think it was like painting a wall - that when the play is finished, it's done - but now I realise it's more like gardening; you plant the thing, then you have to constantly tend it. You're part of a thing that's living.

  • -- Lee Hall 李霍尔

在许多方面,戏剧对作家来说更有价值。我曾经认为这就像油漆一堵墙——当戏剧结束时,它就完成了——但现在我意识到这更像是园艺;你种下这个东西,然后你必须不断地照料它。你是生命的一部分。
