Today, [theatre's] more likely to be consciously not aimed at the public, but at a more sophisticated or educated public. . . . The result is that some of the sheer humanity has leaked out of the enterprise.
The mission of the theatre, after all, is to change, to raise the consciousness of people to their human possibilities.
I think now that the great thing is not so much the formulation of an answer for myself, for the theatre, or the play - but rather the most accurate possible statement of the problem.
The theater is so endlessly fascinating because it's so accidental. It's so much like life.
I regard the theatre as a serious business, one that makes or should make man more human, which is to say, less alone.
