Quote from Coraline. "How big is the soul?"

Why theatre? Theatre tackles the three big universal questions of mankind. 1.) What is the nature of our reality? 2.) How do we fit into that reality, 3.) How then shall we act?

Cormack McCarthy, in "Sunset Limited" makes a direct head-on run at question #1. What is behind our experience? What is the meaning of existence? Not much in life is possible or meaningful without an answer to this most basic question.

It is our job in theatre to pick these ancient questions up, shake the dust off them and hurl them at our audience. And hopefully as they reverberate around the room, we will all renew our curiosity and desire to ask?
