  • “If you spend a hundred bucks, or more, to go to the theatre, something should happen to you. Maybe somebody should be asking you some questions about your values, or about the way you think about things. Maybe you should come out of the theatre, something haven happened to you. Maybe you should be changing, or thinking about changing. But if you just go there, and the only thing you worry about is where you left the damn car, then you wasted a hundred bucks”.

    Brilliant comment.

  • He is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE, God I love just listening to him talk and express himself

  • michaels7, to indoctrinate merely mean to teach. And yes the mass is comforting, but the comfort is is contiguous with a call for humble self-examination and willingness to change that is the great challenge that Albee wants from the theater.

  • @michaels7 Nonsense. The Catholic Mass exists to indoctrinate and to provide a comforting ritual. Nothing more. If the Mass was ever meant to provide what Albee speaks of, it hasn't done so in many, many years - probably centuries.

  • What he says is so true. Yes, I want to be entertained when I go to the theater. But what makes a night at the theater truly memorable is leaving there, feeling changed. Feeling enlightened.

  • Absolutely.

  • The purpose of the playhouse and the Catholic Mass seem to be identical.

  • this man is amazing and expansive

  • best dialog

  • Have zero idea what you mean by this. I met Mr. Albee years ago while doing "Tiny Alice" and found him very interesting. His plays are very challenging, intense, entertaining.
