Elise Wilk<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been writing fiction since I was 8 and plays since I was a teenager, so stories have always been\u00a0part of my life. I believe that the human need to tell and listen to stories will never disappear. That\u2019s why I believe that a play must first and foremost tell a story. And because all the stories have already been told, as a playwright I am always in search for new structures and new ways of telling stories. The theater text is a house, and I am its architect. For me, the architecture of a text is very important and I try to build my plays like musical compositions in which each character has his own distinct voice.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
