I walked through the theater district in New York, and I walked in at precisely the time that they had the break between first and second acts.

You look for a stub, and you sneak into the theater, and you go to the worst seats.

You don't go to a hit.

So I saw the second act of everything.

Specific ones.

I mean, when I saw Bancroft, she was talking to, I think, Mike Nichols, and I was shaking.

And I went over to her, and I'm 17 years old, or 16, 17 years old.

Miss Bancroft, I have this play.

She said, send it to me.

So I, of course, dropped it off.

And I got a note from her.

I guess it was a letter.

I don't understand your play.

I'm sorry.

Oh, my God.

What feedback?

I don't understand you.

I'm sorry.

I don't know why.

Oh, wow.
