Theatre Quotes
-
I find that actors who are wanting to pursue tv or films don't seem to have much interest in classical theatre.
Renee O'Connor
-
For 8,000 years, we've had lyric poetry; for 400 years we've had the novel: theatre hands its meaning down in text. Let's find a medium whose total, sole responsibility is the world as seen as a form of visual intelligence. Surely, surely, surely the cinema should be that phenomenon.
Peter Greenaway
-
Theatre is like an actor's nectar, like how cinema is a director's medium.
Ali Fazal

John Cameron Mitchell
-
You will permit me to say, that a greater drama is now acting on this theatre than has heretofore been brought on the American tage, or any other in the world. We exhibit at present the novel and astonishing spectacle of a whole people deliberating calmly on what form of government will be most conducive to their happiness; and deciding with an unexpected degree of unanimity in favour of a system which they conceive calculated to answer the purpose.
George Washington
-
When I was young, football and theatre were the only places I was happy. I remember school as just what happened in between the things that I liked.
Diego Luna
-
My brother and sister were very sporty. They all did rugby. I was very into performing arts. I went to the National Youth Music Theatre. I was one of those singing, clapping children.
Jonathan Anderson
-
