another imaginary interview excerpt

Years back this fella Peter Brook, an amazing playwright, adapted the Hindu scriptures, the Mahabharata, into a play that was shown as a miniseries on television. An extraordinary thing. I havenít seen it in years so I may not remember it right, but towards the end a man dies and finds himself in Paradise. He looks around for the rest of his family, his clan, and heís told ìThey didnít end up here, actually.î So he says, ìWell, wherever theyíre gone, thatís where I want to be, too.î He forsakes Paradise for his family. Thatís a tradeoff that fascinates me.
