Robert Brustein quotes

The primary function of a theater is not to please itself, or even to please its audience. It is to serve talent. (Robert Brustein)
[The] kind of thinking [...] which refuses to make distinctions among artists on the basis of color or nationality or gender, which insists on inclusion rather than exclusion, is hardly fashionable with the current tribalism known as multiculturalism and cultural diversity. But it represents [...] the only kind of thinking that can prepare the way for great art, and builds the path to a reconciled society. View quote
