I started sort of writing plays. They were never performed and the only time that my play was performed was last season in Lithuania in Vilnius, in the National Theatre. It opened the theatrical season and it was a smash success there were, they said they'd never had such actually at a... attendance, but hundreds turned away, mostly young people were turned away mostly young people and they were, they were my audience, and they said that now maybe the leader consider that these plays are rejuvenated and it turning, Lithuanian theatre into more contemporary sort of direction because it was very... always Chekhov, always Chekhov, Chekhov, Chekhov, or Shakespeare.

[Q] Can you describe what kind of, just the genre of the play?

It's a, very, very like a col... consists of like 100 little segments, like a collage, and it gave the actors and the director liked and that's what all the reviews stressed and the letter that I got, it was very open towards actors play. They could do and improvise whatever of, lack, they became very free, permitted themselves to open themselves completely. It's a collage, but it's turning around and we sort of, placed in time, now with memories of the past, but the main thing that the title was The Very Beginning of the Beginning. The Very Beginning of the Beginning. And it's... very that's the main theme is very simple almost like in Guns of the Trees. They're young man, and woman takes back their, yes, it's interesting, like Guns of the Trees, my first film. They expect their first child and they begin to look more critically around themselves, but you know, towards real influencing and what, in what context and what surrounding the child will begin to, you know, walk the first steps etc. So, many questions suddenly come in and that's, that's, so those pieces of collage at work. Guns of the Trees also consisted of like maybe not 100 maybe 30 or so little pieces, more or less I, I see that in that play if only that placed in, and now 50, 40 years later, 40 years later and already what, I was in Guns of the Trees in 1961 on the, like we were all fearing and afraid it actually took place many of those things, so, and yet also, his plays situated in Lithuania, so there is a Soviet Union behind also, the memories of history, but also there is Cuba and its very, very... and also New York, it's a collage of, in... in time and geography and...

[Q] When did you write it?

I wrote it about 20 years ago and I, and I wrote it in, sort of, half Lithuanian and half English. It, it was staged in Lithuanian and I had English version which I was perfecting and I left it on the plane. I have to recreate it, I mean, it does to, I have to rewrite... re-translate.
