“The industry is very ambitious, and success has become such an opium, people start from the wrong place; they forget sometimes that the core of what we do is storytelling.
It serves a need, a purpose for the individual and society to pull us together in shared experience and help us realize we’re not alone in that experience.”
Joe Wright

“You need three things in the theater – the play, the actors and the audience, – and each must give something”
Kenneth Haigh

“It’s about the play. Where does it need to be really spare? Basically, it’s how to keep the storytelling clear, how to support it and, ideally, enhance it.”
Douglas Levine
