The theatre is a gross art, built in sweeps and over-emphasis. Compromise is its second name.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Theater is a dance of a different kind, a dance of rawness and characters stripped down.
I like the theatre because you paint with broad strokes. To me the theatre is stretching its definition really far.
I've seen plays that are, objectively, total messes that move me in ways that their tidier brethren do not. That's the romantic mystery of great theater. Translating this ineffability into printable prose is a challenge that can never be fully met.
Compromise has a negative connotation.
What is needed in the theater, in fact for all our art forms, is a vibrant critical tradition.
Mostly, theater becomes blander and blander as everyone wants the same thing they saw before. The good plays are the ones that don't allow you to do that.
Politics with me isn't theater. It's performance art. Sometimes, for its own sake.
I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.
There's something wholesome about the theatre.
It's communication - that's what theatre is all about.
