Quotes:

Bertolt Brecht: It's this disgusting passivity... You people don't realize that it's not enough in the theatre to interpret the world anymore. You have to change it!
Odon von Horvath: I really think you underestimate the people's intelligence. They don't want blue-prints, they don't want instructions... They've been told everyday what to do; they don't want to go to the theatre and be told what to do all over again: they want to be shown who they are!
