It's not a straight line to do anything breaking the law. Because if it is, basically you're saying if I cop to having PTSD, I can go out and slap somebody around all I want, and when the cops show up, I can claim I am a veteran, and I got PTSD - that's not how that works.

Theatre is real-time - you get that real-time audience reaction, which is fantastic. And with art pieces, people don't ever have to explain themselves.

Everything is in its place in her; all runs smoothly, no creaking, the mechanism works well, lots of screws in it.'
Anton Chekhov

Frederick William Robertson
