Laura Wade Quotes

I’m always drawn to writing things that feel like uncharted territory Picture Quote #1

And I admit it: there’s a rather dirty thrill when 700 people laugh at a joke you’ve written Picture Quote #1

Maybe if I’d had more direct contact with death, I wouldn’t find it so fascinating and I wouldn’t write about it so much Picture Quote #1

Posh’ is not really political. I didn’t want to aim a brickbat at the system. Or to bash Old Etonians. It was always the class and privilege aspect of that world that I was most drawn to. There is something endlessly fascinating about imagining something you could never be involved in Picture Quote #1

I think it’s disingenuous to believe that being born into a privileged world means you feel like you are having an easy time Picture Quote #1

In my final year at Bristol University, I wrote a play called ‘White Feathers.’ It was produced in the studio theatre at the students’ union in early 1999, when I was 21. It’s 100 pages long: a very traditional play, with an interval, about deserters in the First World War Picture Quote #1

I was the family alien. Both my parents are quite creative, but I was... appalling... always putting on little shows. I was rather a shy child, not a natural performer, but there was a performative edge to everything I did Picture Quote #1

I really don’t know where my interest in death comes from. Maybe I’ve just got a twisted imagination. The truth is, I haven’t had a hugely eventful life - maybe I’m compensating in my creative life. Or maybe I’m just a bit sick Picture Quote #1

I am interested in the way advances in medicine and palliative care mean more people now have the opportunity to plan their own deaths, and also plan for those who are left behind. What does that do to the grieving process? Picture Quote #1

If you want, you can have a coffin made out of cardboard or wicker or papier mache. There’s one like a seed pod, or you could buy one that doubles as both a bookcase and a coffin. During your life, you stand it in your living room, and then after you die, the books are taken out and your body put in their place and the whole thing buried Picture Quote #1

I think the interesting thing about the word ‘posh’ is that it is so relative; it’s quite a provocative title because people have strong feelings about that word Picture Quote #1

We’re not going to create a more equal society by not prodding at it, are we Picture Quote #1

Maybe if I’d had more direct contact with death, I wouldn’t find it so fascinating and I wouldn’t write about it so much Picture Quote #1

Writing a tribe is fun. They have their own language, their own slang; they repeat it, and it becomes part of the texture of the play. For a writer, that’s thrilling. That’s when my pen flies Picture Quote #1

I think a lot of playwrights have a script in their bottom drawer that hopefully no one will ever see about a bunch of young people sharing a flat and getting up to crazy stuff Picture Quote #1

Whether you like the look or not, that tailcoat is a tough shell, a suit of armour. The posh boy is a hardy species Picture Quote #1

I don’t like writing with real people in mind Picture Quote #1

It’s an odd mix, the life of a playwright Picture Quote #1

Apparently the show happens even if I’m not there. Who knew? Picture Quote #1

And I admit it: there’s a rather dirty thrill when 700 people laugh at a joke you’ve written Picture Quote #1
