To further entice you, our other website, Theatreforte, has an exclusive interview with Thugs playwright Adam Bock, conducted by AVLT affiliate Sean Christopher Lewis just a couple of days ago. Here's a teaser:

"Politics" comes from "polus." Your city. What’s your world? That’s what politics are ... the world you want. Is yours a world where people are scared or a world where people are good? I mean in your world homeless people might be mentally ill while in another person’s world they’re willful. It’s really about how you want to build your city. I mean that’s what we’re trying to do. Write a bigger circle. More inclusion. I think I’m interested in it as a gay man I want the circle to be big enough for us. It’s so sad. I mean with the war - we can’t really see a circle that includes Iraq. If we did, if we cared, we wouldn’t be able to only see our dead. We’d keep a count of theirs. We know exactly how many Americans have died. Iraqis we estimate like 30-70 thousand. That’s our job as artists - for me, my job - how can we expand the circle.
