Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Touch and Go: A Play in Three Acts A nice phrase: "A People´s Theatre. But what about it? There´s no such thing in existence as a People´s Theatre: or even on the way to existence, as far as we can tell. The name is chosen, the baby isn´t even begotten: nay, the would-be parents aren´t married, nor yet courting. A People´s Theatre. Note the indefinite article. It isn´t The People´s Theatre, but A People´s Theatre. Not The people: il popolo, le peuple, das Volk, this monster is the same the world over: Plebs, the proletariat. Not the theatre of Plebs, the proletariat, but the theatre of A People. What people? Quel peuple done? - A People´s Theatre. Translate it into French for yourself. A People´s Theatre. Since we can´t produce it, let us deduce it. Major premiss: the seats are cheap. Minor premiss: the plays are good. Conclusion: A People´s Theatre. How much will you give me for my syllogism? Not a slap in the eye, I hope. We stick to our guns. The seats are cheap. That has a nasty proletarian look about it. But appearances are deceptive. The proletariat isn´t poor. Everybody is poor except Capital and Labour. Between these upper and nether millstones great numbers of decent people are squeezed. The seat are cheap: in decency´s name.
