The human race is facing all kinds of problems, and all we are doing is pointing fingers and saying, 'Your interpretation of the problem is different from my interpretations of the problem.'
Mandates are not objective realities but subjective interpretations of elections sold successfully by the winning candidate or party.
One of the things you hope you've done as a playwright is create roles that can sustain different interpretations.
