World Theatre Day

Dear All, This is a message from Lynn Nottage, Pulitzer winning playwright, for the World Theatre Day (27 March). Her message comes as an alternative or an addition to Dame Judi Dench's international message. I have to admit that this message touched me more than Dame Judi's. Please take 5 minutes to read it. I hope it will give you an insight to why I've always loved theatre and why I can't live without it. Here's what hits me the most in sentiment. "...[We must be] approaching our work not as journalists, but as fabulators, storytellers, breaking rules to help reimagine the world. We must be truthful, while spinning yarns. It is the paradox of our creative process that gives us access to places we dare not go in our everyday lives. It emboldens us to ask difficult questions about war, race, religion, poverty, love and hatred..." Please follow the link below for the entire speech.
