Things I understand/find interesting
A play is not a flat work of literature, not a description in poetry of another world, but is in itself another world passing before you in time and space.
Remember, you can’t just decide the planet is wintry or dark because you think it would look more interesting in snow or smog, at least not yet.
Seeking what changes, don’t forget to ask what changes in you, the imaginer of worlds. Ask, what has this world demanded of me?
 

Three things to talk about
In most dramatic worlds there are hidden, or at least unseen, spaces. Ask questions about them as well.
What is the mood on this planet? Jolly? Serious? Sad? Ironic? Sepulchral?
Important as these internal systems are, dramatic worlds don’t just speak to and within themselves; they also speak to each other
