Theatre Upstairs

Famous quotes containing the words theatre and/or upstairs:

What will suffice. It has not always had
To find: the scene was set; it repeated what
Was in the script.
Then the theatre was changed
To something else. Its past was a souvenir.”

it walks over and taps
on the upstairs window with a bunch
of red berries. Will he wake?”
