The theatre is a splendid art. It is also a very difficult art, and a defenceless one, because everyone sees only the tip of the iceberg but is quite sure that he sees it all, and has something to say about it. Personally I am not a passionate theatre-goer. I prefer to sit at home and read the play. The theatre dictates to me: they put their dish before me and insist on my swallowing it. I won’t have it. I prefer to have my own vision of the play. Of course, one mustn’t lose sight of the educational role of the theatre. But education should by no means become the primary aim, it shouldn’t be too obvious, too didactic. The educational aim is best achieved when suddenly some secret spring is touched, and the spectator feels: here is the moment of Truth. It is for this precious moment of Truth that people go to the theatre.
