I saw Anatomy of a Suicide and was blown away at how complex and how beautiful it was. I was in the Dramatic Writing program at Tisch at the time, and I raved and raved and raved to anyone and everyone. Unfortunately, the world shut down a couple of weeks later so...Bleh. But between the play, Succession, and Normal People, this 56 year old from Southern California learned more about writing from this thirty-something girl from (INSERT TOWN) in England than I did in two years at NYU. Great writer. Great interview.

She seems like a fascinating person to talk to! Great work, too!
