I sometimes think that theatre is a torture.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Theater has always been terrifying to me.
But theatre is always a difficult experience.
But I think theatre in a repressive society is an immensely exciting event and theatre in a luxurious old, affluent old society like ours is an entertaining event.
As a playwright, you are a torturer of actors and of the audience as well. You inflict things on people.
Most theater tells you what to think.
I hate that people think going to the theatre is a special occasion. I wish people would treat it as normally as going to the cinema.
What's exciting about theatre is observing human behaviour. You're constantly making judgments about body language, the physical, the emotional, the intellectual.
I hold theatre acting in such high esteem that it scares me.
The thing about theatre is that when it is actually occurring, when you have the audience on your side, you absolutely think you can will them to do anything. It's exhilarating.
I think theater ought to be theatrical.
