Theatre Quotes

I’d been gearing up to working in theatre since coming out of drama school, but it was an exciting time for TV drama - it was the birth of Channel 4, and Brookside was very cutting-edge at the time Picture Quote #1

Family is the theatre of the spiritual drama, the place where things happen, especially the things that matter Picture Quote #1

I grew up in the theatre. It’s where I got my start. Writing a television drama with theatrical dialogue about the theatre is beyond perfection Picture Quote #1

Professionally, I was at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and did lots of things there, and then I won the BBC Carlton Hobbs Award, so I did some BBC Radio drama work, which is a lovely way to start out because you work with lots of great people, and you’re working all the time, so you’re learning rather than sitting around and waitressing Picture Quote #1

I had decent but not great grades in high school because I was highly motivated in some subjects, like the arts, drama, English, and history, but in math and science I was a screw-up. Wooster saw something in me, and I really flourished there. I got into theatre, took photography and painting classes Picture Quote #1

I did a drama degree, went to secretarial college, then got a job with a theatre company in Birmingham. It’s been a slow burn, which doesn’t seem to have gone out Picture Quote #1

I got amazing training both with Theatre Sports... back in Edmonton, Alberta - I can’t give those people enough credit - and the daytime drama I did. Incredible training, both of them Picture Quote #1

Even though momentarily I thought about being a doctor, I was always involved in theatre and did a drama degree. I just didn’t have the guts to go, ‘Yes, I’m going to be an actor,’ until I was probably 21 Picture Quote #1

I was always interested in the arts as a child - drawing, painting, and piano - but acting became a favourite. I was a major theatre geek in high school - if I wasn’t in the drama room at lunch rehearsing, I’d be in the art room finishing up some type of project Picture Quote #1

I was a football player at college and dislocated my thumb. I was out for a bit and passed the theatre and saw some lovely drama students walking into an audition for ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ and thought: ‘That’s what I’ll do when I recover.’ I joined that production and was hooked Picture Quote #1

Opera is the original marriage of words and music, and there’s a theatre element, a dramatic element. It’s right up my alley Picture Quote #1

I have lots of ambitions. I’d love to do theatre. I’d like to be in ‘Tea With Mussolini 2;’ I’d like to touch Meryl Streep - which would involve being with her in some exotic location. I have lots of fantastical dreams Picture Quote #1

During the war, my mother used to take me to the local repertory theatre on a Monday night, and we used to get two seats for the price of one, for nine pence, in the gods Picture Quote #1

I was interested in the ways that artists responded to totalitarianism - the Czech Jazz Section, Romanian absurdist theatre, Brecht’s alienation effect. The anything-goes, anarchic qualities of jazz and Surrealism seemed to offer a way to cross some of the forbidden frontiers of Eastern Europe Picture Quote #1

All theatre has truth, from Theatre in Education to panto to Shakespeare Picture Quote #1

I had worked in this New York theatre company for my first eight or nine years out of college, acting and directing there, and I’d begun to write a little bit Picture Quote #1

I’ve had the good fortune of working with some amazing people. I mean, my first Broadway show was with Elizabeth Taylor and Maureen Stapleton. Maureen Stapleton, a legend in the theatre; Elizabeth Taylor, a legend, period Picture Quote #1

The last time I heard real screaming in the theatre was when I went to see a movie I did years ago, called ‘Wait Until Dark.’ Now, my mother was the least emotional person on the planet, but when I got killed in the movie, she stood up and screamed, ‘That’s my son!’ At Radio City Music Hall in New York! Picture Quote #1

I always liked the visuals to be choice and at the same time minimalist. And, I love black boxes. After all, that’s what theatre is, it’s an empty space, and it’s both limited and unlimited because the space is the space, but what you can do with people’s imaginations is really endless Picture Quote #1

I had my appendix removed in my 20s. I was in the middle of a play with Helen Mirren at the Royal Court Theatre, a fabulous career break. Then two weeks in I began suffering the most horrendous pain and had to pull out. Sadly, by the time I’d recovered, the show’s run had ended Picture Quote #1

There is so much freedom I enjoy in theatre. In films, the roles are limited Picture Quote #1

Through school, I saw plenty of theatre my parents weren’t necessarily up on. They would prefer a football game to watching ‘The Nutcracker,’ and that’s fine. I enjoy both Picture Quote #1

There has been a tremendous growth in the entertainment industry throughout Atlanta. There are many opportunities in film, television and theatre Picture Quote #1

In the modern media age we are rarely surprised by what we see. Whether it’s on television or film or in the theatre, everything is so advertised, so trailed, that most entertainment is merely what you thought it was going to be like Picture Quote #1

Feudal societies don’t create great cinema; we have great theatre. The egalitarian societies create great cinema. The Americans, the French. Because equality is sort of what the cinema deals with. It deals with stories which don’t fall into ‘Everybody in their place and who’s who,’ and all that. But the theatre’s full of that Picture Quote #1

The fantasy genre is so in at the moment. Viewers want to escape from their lives and watch something that is so separate from their everyday existence. People have always wanted to escape their lives - that’s why they go to movies and the theatre Picture Quote #1

What interests me about life most is people, and the why of the world. That’s what theatre looks at: it examines life, and gives it a cohesiveness that life doesn’t have Picture Quote #1

But I think theatre in a repressive society is an immensely exciting event and theatre in a luxurious old, affluent old society like ours is an entertaining event Picture Quote #1

I just love performing so much, and I threw myself into every musical theater production that was going in my home town and at school. And then, I went to the National Youth Music Theatre, which was really a galvanizing experience for me when I was 17 Picture Quote #1

I was very lucky. I left college, and Richard Eyre was in charge of the National Theatre. I was offered the lead in ‘The Seagull’ with no experience and went on to do five plays there Picture Quote #1
