“Theatre is a hybrid form, a mad-bastard form that begs, borrows and steals from everywhere — formally and narratively,” she says. “It’s porous and not remotely sacred. It’s why I feel so alive on stage — thrashing it all out with the other performers and, vitally, with the audience. We reach through and into audiences to find the meaning of it all. Theatre poses questions, playing expands reality, and by sharpening our feelings into ideas, offers pathways to insight — personal and collective, historic and immediate.”
