There will be nothing artistic about this statement. But I am committed to a theatre of action and performance, one that creates its own world, as opposed to the naturalistic model that still predominates. Action means that the characters reveal themselves by what they do, not what they look like. Performance means that theater should be a show. We get involved and excited when actors do things the rest of us cannot -- they collide or explode or sing or dance or jump back and forth between multiple roles. When plays put on a show and characters take irreversible actions that move the story forward, audiences get engaged and invested. And then I get famous!
