I'm so hopelessly intrigued by her illustrious career on the boards. She is, of course, adept at magnification and surprise, but her work usually develops out from a centre of directorial intention - in the strictest sense, more than just serving it - and she has expressed a fundamental disbelief in the externals (things that become focal when in full-body view at all times). With a modus operandi like hers - which tends to involve wiling the viewer into an inner arena rather than pitching forth - how she adapts would definitely be something to see.
