Text Quotes

Let others decide what is being ‘said’  (Howard Barker Quotes) I submit all my plays to the National Theatre for rejection. To assure myself I am seeing clearly  (Howard Barker Quotes) A good play puts the audience through a certain ordeal  (Howard Barker Quotes) I’m not interested in entertainment  (Howard Barker Quotes) I’m not interested in observed reality  (Howard Barker Quotes) I have plenty of political views and plenty of social and personal prejudices. I do not, however, value them  (Howard Barker Quotes) We are suffocated by writers who want to enlighten us with their truths.

Sometimes this is dangerous, but it should be. As I say often, theatre is a dark place and we should keep the light out of it  (Howard Barker Quotes) Tragedy is the greatest art form of all. It gives us the courage to continue with our life by exposing us to the pain of life. It is unsentimental, it takes us seriously as human beings, it is not condescending. Paradoxically, by seeing pain we are made greater, it becomes a need  (Howard Barker Quotes) Theatre should be a taxing experience: the greatest achievement of a writer is to produce a character who creates anxiety  (Howard Barker Quotes)
