“Theatre artists are essentially sort of charlatans and thieves, I mean that's the tradition that we come from, so I have absolutely no, I make no bones about the fact that I steal from here and I take from there, and we all do it, that's perfectly all right, that's the nothing, there's nothing new in the world, there's nothing actually new in the way that you do something, but the point is is how do you take something and use it to articulate what is essentially a core of any given theatrical production.” WorldWayMeanFactsUseArtistGivenTraditionProductionsBonesTheatreCoreStealingThievesTheatricalNothing NewCharlatans Author:Simon McBurney
“One of the things he liked about playwriting as to any other kind of writing is that a playwright is a w-r-i-g-h-t, not a w-r-i-t-e; in other words, that a playwright is more of a craftsman than an artist of the big novel.” WritingKindBigsArtistNovelTheatrePlaywrightCraftsmanPlaywriting Author:Simon McBurney
