My stuff is more about organizing an effort that leads to a performance. And so the important thing has to be the performance. I'm not interested in verisimilitude. That's why I like Brecht, Richard Foreman, and actors who are big hams. That's why I like Shakespeare and Sam Beckett.
Art is the lie that tells the truth.
I liked the physicality of the performance, but the actors might as well have been reading the phone book. Thirty years ago the very act of putting on a play of Ionesco's was antagonistic to the foundations of status quo theater. But today it's museum quality baloney. Contrivance has to hook into your guts. Obviously, the plays of Moliere or Sheridan mean something very different to an audience today than when they were first written.
