Famous quotes containing the words theatre and/or work:
“Compare ... the cinema with theatre. Both are dramatic arts. Theatre brings actors before a public and every night during the season they re-enact the same drama. Deep in the nature of theatre is a sense of ritual. The cinema, by contrast, transports its audience individually, singly, out of the theatre towards the unknown.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“Basil: What I meant was, what work do you do?
Zorba: Listen to him. I got hands, feet, head, they do the jobs. Who the hell am I to choose?”
—Michael Cacoyannis (b. 1922)
