Beth Henley Play Quotations

My fault now is making my plays too short.

My first few plays took place in the South and even The Lucky Spot was in the thirties but in Louisiana.

Plays are so much more special if they've never ever had a production, but I think you can really work on a play and make it better with each production.

I grew up in Jackson, Mississippi, really in suburbia, so my mother was in community theatre plays

I did write a couple of original screenplays, but I'd rather write plays

That was always my inclination, to start on a new play before the other one gets done, because at least you'll have something to go back to if that play gets trashed.

The most glorious thing about working in the collaborative art is when you have somebody like Susan Kingsley or Kathy Bates who are better than your play.
