What was great about Ben was that even though he had written the shows he was incredibly gracious and would always say, "Look, I wrote the stuff, but you do what you like with it. I'm not going to be here trying to direct it the way that I wrote it."

He was wonderful in that respect, just letting us play the role exactly as we saw fit. I think by that stage he knew enough of us as actors, [to know] what we were capable of doing.
