Love Quote by Edward Hall

"I'd love to do some new plays" lands like an offhand daydream, but the wording does a lot of quiet work. The key move is the phrase "I'd love" - not "I plan", not "I'm writing", not "I'm leaving". It’s desire framed as permission-seeking, a wish expressed safely in the conditional. For a lawyer, that conditional matters: law is a profession built on risk management, precedent, and defensible positions. Saying "I'd love" is a low-liability way to admit a high-voltage impulse.

Then there’s "do", not "write" or "produce". Hall positions himself as a participant, someone craving the embodied, collaborative mess of theater rather than the solitary romance of authorship. "Some" keeps it modest, almost negotiable; it suggests he’s imagining a sidestep rather than a scorched-earth reinvention. And "new plays" is the real tell. This isn’t nostalgia for safe classics or a respectable hobby night. "New" signals appetite for the untested: contemporary voices, original work, the kind of material that doesn’t come with a built-in map. That’s a striking contrast to legal culture, where novelty is often the thing you argue around.

Contextually, it reads like a pressure valve. After years of arguing other people’s narratives, he’s hinting at wanting to choose the story, not just litigate it. The subtext: I’m competent where I am, but competence isn’t the same as aliveness.
