(...) How can theatre stay conservative when the world around is changing so fast?" I think this says it all. Theatre seems to be among the few places still willing to risk a burning, and a theatre's audience seems to be still (more or less) willing to get bruised a little themselves. It's like the old game of kings and jesters - the latter can be bold (meaning true) in what he or she says because of the playfulness involved - because of what a jester is. one can only hope it stays that way. as for willy schmidt - well, maybe magically the message wasn't completely lost, and what's a name anyway? “We might burn ourselves but we might as well be enlightened.
