As a playwright, it is important to think about the audience role in my work because there are techniques that break the fourth wall, or that requires orchestrated audience participation. But I find that when a playwright is not utilizing these techniques, the audience participation is completely voluntary, therefore I try to consider what would be compelling to my audience. However, I write what feels good to me, cross my fingers and hope other’s will like it.

I like to think of the audience for Paint the Bluebells Red as silent participants and witnesses to a murder. Being that there is an element of sorcery involved in this play, the energy of the audience amplifies the actions and intent of the actors.
