It's a shite day to announce anything... but that's exactly why I am so thankful that I will be working alongside these outstanding artists over the next three years, during which I will do my utmost best to create work that matters. I am also relieved as hell to be collaborating – at long last – with my ally, my friend, my sounding board, and the one artist who understands me the most. It's the right project, at the right time, and now with the right support. Holy crap, I have never been more motivated to make it count.

The Playwrights Theatre Centre Associates will be exploring large-scale projects over the next three years. Jovanni and I will be collaborating on Salesman in China, inspired by Arthur Miller and Ying Ruocheng's seminal 1983 production of Death of a Salesman at the Beijing People's Art Theatre.
