“I love test screenings. Some directors don't, I know. But I love it. I think it's because I come from the theatre and in the theatre, previews are where you really have to listen to the audience and really feel how they're responding. I found our test screenings incredibly useful.” ThinkingKnowsFeelsFoundAudienceDirectorsTestsTheatreRespondingScreeningPreviewTheatre Directors Author:Stephen Daldry

“An actor and a [theatre] director are both what I would call interpreters of work. We interpret a work, just as a musician will interpret a composer's work, we interpret the work of a playwright. We are servants of the theatre and I've always believed that. We must serve what has been written, that's what we're there for.” Has BeensActorsWrittenDirectorsMusicianTheatreServantComposerAlways BelievePlaywrightInterpreterTheatre Directors Author:George Ogilvie
