Sometimes you need to take a departure from what you do to something that's slightly different in order to get inspiration.
With a mini series you can give the story a proper sense of pacing, a proper sense of closure.
One of the things I like about performing on the stage is that it is a kind of meditative experience. Time does stand still. You have no concept or feeling of the passing of two or three hours' time. It's all kind of one present moment, which is a kind of a description of meditation.
