Drama happens in big cricket matches. But also in small cricket matches.
From Harold Pinter
Cricket, the whole thing, playing, watching, being part of the Gaieties, has been a central feature of my life.
The only theatre I ever saw was Shakespeare.
A few friends and me used to go and watch Bunuel, Carne, Cocteau... Cocteau and Bunuel were surrealism. And I was very excited by that. 'Un Chien Andalou', especially.
All I can say is that I did admire 'The Lives of Others', which I thought was really about something and beautifully done.
George W. Bush is always protesting that he has the fate of the world in mind and bangs on about the 'freedom-loving peoples' he's seeking to protect. I'd love to meet a freedom-hating people.
One should also remember that the U.S. is the biggest exporter of torture weapons in the world, though the U.K. is not far behind in the league table. We never stopped, even under Robin Cook's supposedly ethical foreign policy.
All I'm saying is that there are many different kinds of political theatre and many plays I greatly admire: 'Antigone,' 'Mother Courage,' 'All My Sons.' But, if I tackle a political theme, I have to do it in my own way.
Truth in drama is forever elusive. You never quite find it, but the search for it is compulsive. The search is clearly what drives the endeavour. The search is your task.
Sometimes you feel you have the truth of a moment in your hand, then it slips through your fingers and is lost.
