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.'
A commemorative portrait of the man and his work. with his own recorded voice and the voices of DAME FLORA ROBSON
