The Joys of Research


I've realized that, in many ways, this play isn't that different from others I've written. It's about understanding a culture, this time a subset of American culture rather than a foreign culture. And I always do a lot of research, but this time my research is largely through the very talented group we've assembled.

But there's always room for more research. Today, some of the very enjoyable research I've done included reading about Klingon mating rituals and weapons used on Star Trek.

Here's a clip from Star Trek: Next Generation to help you understand the subtle intricacies of Klingon courtship.
