"I am not able to acquire certainty about anything"
Martin Esslin who is made aware of the paradoxes of human life more in the theatre than in the church, talking to Robert Robinson.
Martin Esslin is Head of BBC Radio Drama. He believes that the dramatist today has more to say than the theologian. The churches are too cocksure: their symbolism has been used up; their rules of conduct are too middle-class - whereas the hallmark of the Theatre of the Absurd is its sense that the certainties and unshakable basic assumptions of former ages have been swept away. "It reflects," he says, "the breakdown of religious society, and the search for a new way of putting religious truths."
