Explains Wright: "When Phil and I met, I immediately recognized that he had understood the tone and the humor of my work in a profound way. He very rapidly became a Marquis scholar himself. As I continued writing, he developed a way of looking into my soul and seeing what was there, pushing me even further to the edge than I thought I could go. He helped turn my speeches into visual rhapsodies, and constantly expanded my sense of possibility. At first, I feared I would be asked to compromise on the story in order to appeal to more delicate sensibilities. But on the contrary, the play's heart was left very much intact and Phil allowed me to go even deeper. He completely embraced and included me in the filmmaking experience, and it was an extraordinary and rare experience for a screenwriter."
Adds producer Peter Kaufman: "Doug and Phil's remarkable collaboration really started the production off with incredible energy. We were all inspired by Doug's verbal acrobatics, dexterity with language, love of ideas and ability to get to the emotional heart of matters."
