Quote "Theatre should be like..."

Theatre should be like stepping onto a tightrope every night not plodding down a well trodden path. Even when you’re on your 300th performance there should still be a sense of spontaneity, a fizz of adrenaline and a feeling that the actors themselves don’t quite know what’s going to happen. It’s easier to shake things up and find freshness with new and more devised work (we all know what happens at the end of Romeo and Juliet before it even starts). As a performer I never subvert the story or the focus but I often shake things up, change rhythms, find something new.
