“If every auditorium were razed to the ground, theatre would still survive, because the hunger in each of us to act and be acted to, is genetic. This intense hunger even crosses the threshold of sleep. For we direct, perform and witness performances every night - theatre cannot die before the last dream has been dreamt.” IfsHas BeensStillsDreamLastsNightDiesSleepCrossesDirectPerformancesHungerTheatreIntenseWitnessEvery NightThresholdAuditoriums Author:Declan Donnellan

“Between two fantasy alternatives, that Holbein the Younger had lived long enough to have painted Shakespeare or that a prototype of the camera had been invented early enough to have photographed him, most Bardolators would choose the photograph. This is not just because it would presumably show what Shakespeare really looked like, for even if the photograph were faded, barely legible, a brownish shadow, we would probably still prefer it to another glorious Holbein. Having a photograph of Shakespeare would be like having a nail from the True Cross.” IfsLongStillsTwoEnoughShowsWould BeFantasyShadowCrossesCamerasPhotographAlternativesGloriousNailsFadedPrototype Book:On photography Source: On photography
“At this season of the year we draw close to Good Friday. All the eyes of the world will turn back to "a green hill far away, without a city wall," where the founder of Christianity was crucified by those forces of selfishness, greed, and lust for gain that are still at work in the world.
