I don't think theatre has changed; it's society that has changed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think it's sad that movies and television have caused the theatre to fade as a popular art form. I hope to get young people into the theatre and expose them to Shakespeare.
Theatre is the art form of the present: it exists only in the present, and then it's gone.
As for theatre, there's ups and downs to everything. Theatre is ephemeral. But that is part of its charm because you can always say the production was better than it was.
Theater has an incredible capacity to move people to social change, to address issues, to inspire social revolution.
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.
Theater is, of course, a reflection of life. Maybe we have to improve life before we can hope to improve theater.
Theater is still a medium which attracts young writers. You'd think that it would be all over by now, with television and film. But it's not.
Musical theatre is now a worldwide conversation.
You know, this isn't theatre like it used to be.
My main concern is theater, and theater does not reflect or mirror society. It has been stingy and selfish, and it has to do better.
