Abstract: Abstract Directing a play is a creative process. At one level it is an exercise in effi - cient project management: there is the deadline of opening night, there are sets to be built, actors to be rehearsed and the whole thing must come together on time, on budget and be successful, or you go bust. However, to be successful the play must also innovate. Whatever it is, it must hit the audience as new, exciting, original and different, or they won’t come. So theater people, particularly, have to innovate to stay in business. They also have to innovate within very tight constraints of timing and budget.
