Concerning interpretations of "The Pitchfork Disney" Ridley mentioned in 2016 that “Every time it’s revived it means something different. There’s a production of it on in Canada at the moment which in the present climate is being seen as a play about terrorism – about the fear of the outside coming in and the fear of change. A few years ago it was about the fear of sex, intimacy, of being touched... plays are like tuning forks, they vibrate with whatever’s going on in the atmosphere at the time.”
