Studs Terkel You are used the word professional. And when I finish this book it is my intention to write more plays and, perhaps, nothing but plays and how many will depend upon how many years God lets me live. On the other hand I have found out something in the years, half-dozen years since I've been represented on the American stage, and that is that I am a professional playwright. So that I'm not as much of a playwright as people think I am. And in the last several years I've been working on another non-fiction book. I've written one non-fiction book which is the one you just alluded to, "The Seesaw Log", which is the story of the trials and tribulations of that play, "Two for the Seesaw". I've written, written and published a volume of poetry, I've published a novel, I've published but not collected short stories, which I don't think anybody will collect, and I certainly won't. You know, I added up the amount of time recently that I've put into writing for the theater out of the last, say, eight years, 10 years, and I've put about one-third of my writing time into writing for the theater. William Gibson Well, my first response is I'm partly a playwright. How do you look upon yourself as a playwright? I say you're a playwright. So, Bill, where do we begin? The job of a playwright, you. The two plays, of course, "Two for the Seesaw", that ran for a couple of years on Broadway, and toured, and "The Miracle Worker", his version of the story of young Helen Keller. And some traumas, too, experienced by William Gibson. I use this word deliberately to lead to some conversation. Studs Terkel William Gibson is, to me, a distinguished American playwright.
