Theresa Rebeck: Precepts of Playwriting

What is central to my work is comedy. For me, there is a desperation in comedy that's very theatrical.

These are your choices: you can kill yourself or die or tell a joke. ~Theresa Rebeck Theresa Rebeck is a prolific and widely produced playwright, whose work can be seen and read throughout the United States and abroad. Last season, her fifth Broadway play premiered on Broadway, making Rebeck the most Broadway-produced female playwright of our time.
