First there was the theatre of people and animals, then of people and the devil. Now we need the theatre of people and people.

In the end I think theatre has only one subject: justice

I write about violence as naturally as Jane Austen wrote about manners. Violence shapes and obsesses our society, and if we do not stop being violent we have no future.

It's insulting to ask a dramatist what his view of his play is. I have no opinion

The theatre, our theatre, comes from the Greeks

What Shakespeare and the Greeks were able to do was radically question what it meant to be a human being.

The Greeks said very, very extreme things in their tragedies.
