One reason I love theater is because it is intimately connected to the human inner gut. When I listened to Patsy Rodenburg´s talk at Michael Howard Studios in NY (hosted online by TED), I was really touched when she told that in a book-talk in Australia a man said to her that he didnt like theater and continued, in a Greek play, "there was an actress that lost her young son and made a sound that was really embarassing. (...) A year ago a policeman came and told me that my daughter had been rapped and murdered and I made that same sound.Whoever that actress was, I bless her." She played the truth.
