Quote:
"[For A Winter Tale] I wanted a cross-section [of actors], and I got it. We developed the story from the ground up. There was a lot of talking. A lot of talking. We taped all our workshops, and watched them to develop language patterns that would be authentic to the individual characters. We were going for the truth. Even when we had the script and performed it in a theatre, we tore it down again to play in the community centre, with a different kind of audience."
-- Frances-Anne Solomon
