The truth comes out: Warchus poisoned Piven!

"Playbill.com: Another London production of yours about which there was talk that it would come to Broadway, was your staging of Mamet's Speed-the-Plow starring Kevin Spacey and Jeff Goldblum. But Broadway ended up with a different production of the play. Was that disappointing to you?
MW: Yeah. I really, really wanted it to come to New York. But, despite my almost entirely unsuccessful attempt to poison the New York company?

Playbill.com: Ah, a new theory on the mysterious departure of Jeremy Piven! You poisoned him!
MW: That's what I mean. Almost entirely unsuccessful. Just the beginnings of a glimmer of success!"

Very insightful interview with Warchus.

Man, if he didn't already have the Tony in the bag for The Norman Conquests, that interview would have won over SO many Tony voters. He's such a funny guy.
