“It was a pity that movies and live TV left New York for Hollywood. London theater, movies, television - until (Britain's) money ran out - were always better than ours since the city was the political capital of the country, as well as the artistic and literary one. In L.A. we've always been slightly sealed off from real life. It's no accident that two of our most interesting directors, Woody Allen and Bob Altman, are more or less settled in the real world.” WorldWellsTwoRealCountryPoliticalLeftInterestingCitiesNew YorkTelevisionTvsDirectorsHollywoodTheaterAccidentsLondonReal LifePityArtisticRanBritainReal WorldBobMost InterestingWoodyLive Tv Author:Gore Vidal

“The truth is that a lot of plays aren't political at all. In American theater history, political theater has tended to crop up when there's a crisis, a national crisis.” PlayPoliticalTruth IsTheaterCrisisCrops Author:Frank Rich
“There should be a name for this, for the process whereby one knows one is being yanked and concedes it has been done successfully - that one is grateful to have been spun. In the theater, it is called the willing suspension of disbelief. That's what allows the play to make an impact on the audience: they have to be able to make believe that what's happening on the stage is really happening. Maybe to a degree it is a requirement for all political participation, all effective political communication, too.” KnowsShouldBelieveHas BeensDonePlayAblePoliticalNamesProcessAudienceStageWillingCommunicationDegreesHappeningsTheaterGratefulImpactRequirementsParticipationDisbeliefMake BelieveSpunSuspensionSuspension Of DisbeliefPolitical Participation Author:Peggy Noonan
“This is not a legitimate congressional exercise. This is not a fact-finding hearing. This is theater. This is a charade. This is stage craft.

“Parallel to the training of the body a struggle against the poisoning of the soul must begin. Our whole public life today is like a hothouse for sexual ideas and simulations. Just look at the bill of fare served up in our movies, vaudeville and theaters, and you will hardly be able to deny that this is not the right kind of food, particularly for the youth.
