“The aftermath of the war is what inspired us to write many of our plays. The who…” — Jerome Lawrence

Our only competition in the theater is boredom, because if I'm bored with a play, if I'm revolted by a play on stage, with the Broadway prices, especially today, I'm going to walk out and not come back and pay that price again.

You must not demand the failure of your peers, because the more good things that are around in film, in television, in theater - why the better it is for all of us.

If you're going to make a musical, don't cartoon it from the play. Make it better than the play. Have a reason for making it sing.

In no instance is there to be a musical or opera of Inherit the Wind because it doesn't sing. It's an intellectual play.
