Harp: It's about exploring the taboo. Seeing who we, as people, really are. Yes, Robert makes a deal with a cambion, but who wouldn't?


Interviewer: Well, I like to think most people wouldn't.


Harp: Then you don't know most people. Everyone wants something. Everyone needs something. Cambions can see it. In a way, they know us better than we know ourselves.


Interviewer: But at the end of the play, Robert dies horribly. What does that say about what we, as you put it, 'need'?


Harp: You forget, Robert dies because he broke away from Carlisle. He didn't stay true to the deal they made.


Interviewer: So you're encouraging people to make a pact with hell's offspring? To give up, as Robert did, his soul?
