Poor Theatre

Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or theatre:

    “Come on, poor babe,
    Some powerful spirit instruct the kites and ravens
    To be thy nurses. Wolves and bears, they say,
    Casting their savageness aside, have done
    Like offices of pity.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The theatre is the best way of showing the gap between what is said and what is seen to be done, and that is why, ragged and gap-toothed as it is, it has still a far healthier potential than some poorer, abandoned arts.”
    —David Hare (b. 1947)
