ExcErpts from ArdEn thEAtrE’s IntErvIEw wIth BrucE GrAhAm …

QUESTION: What was the seed for Something Intangible? BG: It was 15 years ago. It was going to be a play about the Van Gogh brothers. I made notes on it. I had Lautrec and Gauguin and all those guys in it. That seemed like too much work! And, also, it was too diverse; too many characters, too many stories to follow. And so I boiled it down to these guys. I started to work on it while I was fishing in Alaska, thinking I’d get a few pages done and I had so much time on my hands I wrote the whole first act! Once it started, after being up (in my head) for so long, it just kind of thaws out. So it was really easy. I guess it was 15 years, so it wasn’t that easy...But once it comes out, it’s a breeze.

QUESTION: Too many characters, too many stories. Any other reason you made the switch from the Van Goghs to the Wistons? BG: Yeah, that, and, you know I’m a film historian, I teach it. Look, I was in the 6th grade reading Hollywood in the ‘30s. Staying up late at night and watching these old movies on the weekends. I saw every Universal horror movie ever made. My daughter didn’t know movies came in color until she was like six.

QUESTION: And do you think Tony, like Van Gogh, would cut off his ear for someone? BG: Yes! Not for someone, but for his project. Absolutely. I think real artists would do anything...I think William Wilder said, or one of those famous directors of the 40s and 50s, when they heard about Sam Peckinpah being such a bastard on the set, said, “Hm, sounds like he’s trying to make a good movie.” It was Wilder who said, the first thing a director has to do is repress the urge to be a nice person. When he was off the set he was the nicest guy in the world, but when he got on the set he was a bastard and would make you do it 45 times. He didn’t mind staying there until 10 o’clock at night, and the guy’s track record is pretty impressive. I really think artists do that. Me, I’m too lazy to be an artist.

QUESTION: Bruce, what excites you about this play? BG: This one is really, really different. And, it’s been something I’ve wanted to say for a long time. I always hate, you know, “the author’s message,” and the, what, the “Aristotelian thought,” and all that, but the whole left brain/right brain interests me. Some of us in the arts often look down our noses at

“civilians,” who are out there raising the money, balancing the books. There has to be a real partnership. Even in the best marriages, if anyone is too much alike, forget it. You’ve got to have balance. Tony couldn’t create these things without Dale. And yet people like Dale are often overlooked. I can’t wait to see if it works. I write scenes I don’t want to watch sometimes, scenes where I feel I’m making the characters do embarrassing or awkward things. Once I watch it in performance, I’m going to be like,“OK! I’m going to be looking the other way!” I feel like I make people do terrible things!

QUESTION: How do you know when a script you’re working on is ready? BG: I don’t, always. I don’t even try to write the script until I have the end of the first act. The end of the first act is going to drive the rest of the play. Then I want at least two conflicts or twists or something in the second act. Once I have all those ingredients, I think I have a play that will work. And it has to be a world that interests me. I think human experiences are universal. I’m always telling my students, you write a play about your family, that’s great, we all have families, but what is it about your family that I’m going to be interested in? Why am I going to sit there and pay attention to your family? My world cannot be further from the world of Asher Lev, but I still got caught up in the story. Opus – I know nothing about music except that I like it, but I could get caught up in the story of (Opus’) characters. To me, that’s smart playwriting.

QUESTION: You are a screenwriter as well. How similar or different are the disciplines? BG: For me, the actual writing discipline is similar. You write for x amount of hours, find act breaks, that sort of thing. You don’t fall in love with it, because they (the producers) can do anything they want to it. Sometimes you get a producer that protects you. But I’ve dealt with some very well-educated, stupid people in Hollywood. Look, back when Tony and Dale were working, these guys weren’t artists. Louis B. Meyer was a junkman. Harry Cohen was a song plugger. These were all just immigrants, no money. Sam Goldwyn was a glove maker. But their gut told them if a story would work, if people would buy tickets to see something. They put out 52 movies a year back then as opposed to the ten that Universal will put out this year. So, I’m dealing with a bunch of people who know nothing about the history of movies, know nothing about audiences. I made a reference to African Queen one time in a meeting with a young executive and he had no idea what I was talking about. I’m like,“1951, Humphrey Bogart won his Oscar for it, what, are you a moron?” It’s like baseball players who don’t know who Babe Ruth or Lou Gehrig are. You gotta know the history of your business!
