Documentary Theater

Famous quotes containing the words documentary and/or theater:

“What is a novel if not a conviction of our fellow-men’s existence strong enough to take upon itself a form of imagined life clearer than reality and whose accumulated verisimilitude of selected episodes puts to shame the pride of documentary history?”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

“The primary function of a theater is not to please itself, or even to please its audience. It is to serve talent.”
