Plays are much easier to write than books, because you can see them in your mind’s eye, you are not hampered with all that description which clogs you so terribly in a book and stops you getting on with what’s happening. The circumscribed limits of the stage simplifies things for you.

You have only what can be seen and heard and done to deal with. Looking and listening and feeling is what you have to deal with. I should””
