Алан Эйкборн: Цитаты на английском языке

“Plays by Alan Ayckbourn have been attracting larger audiences in the regional theatres than those of Shakespeare.”

Press release by the Arts Council of Great Britain, November 2, 1983.
This is said to be the source of the common, but unsubstantiated, statement that Ayckbourn is the second most performed playwright after Shakespeare. http://biography.alanayckbourn.net/BiographyFAQPopularity.htm
Criticism

“Few women care to be laughed at and men not at all, except for large sums of money.”

Preface to The Norman Conquests (New York: Grove Press, [1975] 1988) p. 11.

“The darker the subject, the more light you must try to shed on the matter. And vice versa.”

The Crafty Art of Playwriting (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2003) p. 3.

“A comedy is just a tragedy interrupted, I once said. Do you finish with the kiss or when she opens her eyes to tell him she loves him and sees blonde hairs on his collar?”

"A Crash Course in Playwriting" (1993) http://education.alanayckbourn.net/EducationInterviewsPlaywriting.htm.
