Famous quotes containing the word theatre:

    ... the theatre demanded of its members stamina, good digestion, the ability to adjust, and a strong sense of humor. There was no discomfort an actor didn’t learn to endure. To survive, we had to be horses and we were.
    Helen Hayes (1900–1993)

    This visible world is wonderfully to be delighted in, and highly to be esteemed, because it is the theatre of God’s righteous Kingdom.
    Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)

    I think theatre should always be somewhat suspect.
    Václav Havel (b. 1936)
