You won't work past seven or onweekends. And I don't need you to say smart shit all the timeor come up with the best most brilliant idea. I mean it's greatif you do but the most important thing is that we all feel com-fortable saying whatever weird shit comes into our minds. Sowe don't feel like we have lo self-censor and we can all justsit around telling stories. Because that's where the good stuffcomes from. These guys know this ... I mean you guys havebeen through this ...(Daveand Danny M1 nod vigorously)I'd say half the stuff on Heathens was from our lives or just /stories we'd heard from other people.
A key moment in The antipodes is when Sandy promises the group they won’t work late or on weekends. He tells them they don’t need to be perfect, just creative. This makes the job seem relaxed and easy at first. But as the play goes on, this promise fades. The gtoup loses track of time, pressure builds, and work takes over their lives. This moment is important because it shows how things can quickly sprial out of control.
