The Theatre

«My playground was the theatre. I'd sit and watch my mother pretend for a living. As a young girl, that's pretty seductive.»
«Compare the cinema with theatre. Both are dramatic arts. Theatre brings actors before a public and every night during the season they re-enact the same drama. Deep in the nature of theatre is a sense of ritual. The cinema, by contrast, transports its audience individually, singly, out of the theatre towards the unknown.»
«A good drama critic is one who perceives what is happening in the theatre of his time. A great drama critic also perceives what is not happening.»
«Let a single complete action, in one place and one day, keep the theatre packed to the last.»
«In the theatre the audience want to be surprised - but by things that they expect.»
«A good film is when the price of the dinner, the theatre admission and the babysitter were worth it.»
«I have the terrible feeling that, because I am wearing a white beard and am sitting in the back of the theatre, you expect me to tell you the truth about something. These are the cheap seats, not Mount Sinai.»
«For the theatre one needs long arms; it is better to have them too long than too short. An artiste with short arms can never, never make a fine gesture.»
«It's one of the tragic ironies of the theatre that only one man in it can count on steady work - the night watchman.»
«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.»
