Children and teenagers don't easily relate to stories about kings and dukes, and to tell only stories about kings and dukes is to ignore the regular people.
From Tim Crouch
It's important for me, politically, to see that theater isn't just about the powerful.
A mental shutdown can happen when a young person is put in front of a Shakespeare play. My pieces are designed to release young audiences into the story and then creep up with the real Shakespeare, almost by stealth.
To have a sense of contemporary ownership of Shakespeare is the most important thing to his work.
Anything one can do to provoke and inspire an interest in the works of Shakespeare in a young audience is fair game. Anything.
Unease is not an emotion I get often in the theatre, and I like it.
