Famous quotes containing the word theatre:

    “For the theatre one needs long arms; it is better to have them too long than too short. An artiste with short arms can never, never make a fine gesture.”
    —Sarah Bernhardt (1844–1923)

    “The theatre is the involuntary reflex of the ideas of the crowd.”
    —Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)

    “To save the theatre, the theatre must be destroyed, the actors and actresses must all die of the plague. They poison the air, they make art impossible. It is not drama that they play, but pieces for the theatre. We should return to the Greeks, play in the open air: the drama dies of stalls and boxes and evening dress, and people who come to digest their dinner.”
    —Eleonora Duse (1858–1924)
