In the second 37 Plays podcast episode, Mark Ravenhill is joined by playwright Sami Ibrahim. 

From Mark’s 101 Playwriting Tips, Sami chose #67: Most of us have years writing apprentice plays -each one like trying on a jacket. they’re fine, they fit OK. Then you write a play and the jacket completely moves with you, second skin. You haven’t reached the destination-the journey’s begun. How I felt with Shopping and Fucking.

Sami’s tip: Don’t second-guess your instincts or make assumptions about what a theatre wants you to write.
