The excitement of theatre is palpable but the frustrations, and the complete absence of a definitive evening - the play as text means practically nothing in a way - , there's no particular performance that is definitive in the way a novel is a solid object you hold in your hands and here it is. You can't say that about a play. If the novel gives us a sense of throbbing consciousness, theater is pure soul, beautiful and elusive.
Don DeLilloThe world isn't going to be destroyed, but you don't feel safe anymore in your plane or train or office or auditorium.
Don DeLilloMaybe when we die, the first thing we'll say is 'I know this feeling. I was here before'.
