- To Theatre Royal Windsor and Triumph Proscenium Productions production of The Philanthropist, by Christopher Hampton, Wyndham's Theatre, London, Theatre Royal, Windsor, and other locations, 5th March - 5th October 1991: “From the diary of Chris Knight, July 2, 1991 – Quite a play – the opening scene very quickly moves to a young playwright blowing out his brains with a pistol, in someone’s study. And things move on from there… The main character is a university professor who teaches philology, a study of words, their origins, their meanings, their form. The play revolves around his attempts to communicate, how they are all frustrated by his own literal-mindedness, by the complexity of real communication as contrasted to just words, and by his false belief that everyone else is just like him. According to another character, there are two types of people – those who falsely believe that everyone is just like them, and those who live their life according to the realization that not everyone is just like them. I suppose I would fall into category one, except that it’s not a false belief – not at all!”
