Theatre is a mirror, a sharp reflection of society. The greatest playwrights are moralists.
Yasmina Reza
Image
Theatre within theatre, when characters sees themselves on stage, always raises philosophical questions of choice and free will.
Mark Ravenhill
Image
Theatre audiences can't be made to think and cry: at best, they can be made to think and laugh, or to feel and cry.
Mignon McLaughlin
Image
Theatre and opera were always the twin kingdoms that I felt I had to conquer, because they were my parents' favorites.
Diane Paulus
Image
Theatre is filled w/ passion, risk and drama (as much behind-the-curtain as on stage), perfect ingredients for documentary storytelling.
Dori Berinstein
Image
Theatre outings are my favourite thing to spend money on. The most influential play I saw was Bent, which starred Ian McKellen. And I loved the original performance of The Rocky Horror Show, with Richard OBrien and Tim Curry at the Royal Court, when I was about 15.

Theatre critics have no special access to the truth. And there should be no objective truth to art.
Tim Crouch
Image
Theatre is a form of knowledge it should and can also be a means of transforming society. Theatre can help us build our future, rather than just waiting for it.
Augusto Boal
Image
Theatre is the art of looking at ourselves.
Augusto Boal

Theatre is the safe place to do the unsafe things that need to be done.
John Patrick Shanley
Image
Theatre should be a taxing experience: the greatest achievement of a writer is to produce a character who creates anxiety.
Howard Barker

Theatre for a New Audience is one of America's most admirable and exciting theatre companites...some of the best acted and directed work to be found on American stages, engaging with the canon of world dramatic literature in a vigorous way.
Tony Kushner

Theatre demands different muscles and different aspects of one's personality.
Victor Garber
Image
Theatre has so many competitors, it's no longer enough to see and hear a play. You want to be able to touch and smell it, too.
Lucien Bourjeily
Image
Theatre just fills me up so much.
Lea Michele
Image
Theatre is a mirror, a sharp reflection of society. The greatest playwrights are moralists.
Yasmina Reza
Image
Theatre is a concentrate of life as normal. Theatre is a purified version of real life, an extraction, an essence of human behaviour that is stranger and more tragic and more perfect than everything that is ordinary about me and you.
Eleanor Catton
Image
Theatre can entertain, provoke, challenge, investigate, comfort and educate. It's arrogant of a playwright to think education is more important than anything else. Writing for the theatre does not give you permission to lecture, hector or bore.

Theatre aside, my penchant for the extended monologue began with my reading of Browning's dramatic monologues, in high school. My inclination to adopt the form for prose was confirmed by Richard Howard's book of dramatic monologues, Untitled Subjects.
Norman Lock

Theatre is the principal job of an actor. An actor's job is to tell a story to someone in a room. TV and film can be great and I really love doing it, but it is a different way of telling a story.
Sylvester McCoy
Image
Theatre remains the only thing I understand. It is in the community of theatre that I have my being. In spite of jealousies and fears, emotional conflicts and human tensions in spite of the penalty of success and the dread of failure in spite of tears and feverish gaiety this is the only life I know. It is the life I love.
Robert Helpmann
Image
Theatres are built because they were the boards for entertainment.
Robert Plant
Image
Theatre is, at its roots, some very brave people mutually consenting to a make believe world, with nothing but language to rest on.
Sarah Ruhl
Image
Theatre is so much fun because you do theatre and you have a month of working it out on your own, and then a month of rehearsal, so by the time you get to stage I know where I'm failing and I know where I'm succeeding and your boundaries are pretty concrete.
