Kenneth Lonergan doesn't think there's a real difference between comedy and drama, at least not in the way he writes and directs. The playwright-screenwriter-director talks with Marc about the lie of sentimentality, how ideas collapse when he's writing and new ideas emerge, and why he hopes to get to 95% satisfaction with his work (he's gotten to about 90% so far). That work includes Manchester By The Sea, Margaret, You Can Count On Me, and plays like The Waverly Gallery, which is now on Broadway.
