Sir Tyrone Guthrie 1900-1971
1 I believe that the theatre makes its effect not by means of illusion, but by ritual.... Just as I have gradually abandoned the idea of illusion as the aim of theatrical performance, so I have also abandoned the idea that the theatre has a moral aim: to uplift the public, to instruct it, do it good.'
