Answer: I think an audience can concentrate on a multi-visual aspect now, which they, because our lives are so visually stimulated, simultaneously by so many different things we are able to actually do a lot of things at once, quite well. Maybe not in great depth, but quite well. And so you can actually fragment the audience's attention without losing the narrative if you're very clever in a way that you couldn't have done a while ago. This is what I mean by it's shifting sand. And the only way to keep the classics alive is that they should continually reflect our changing sensibility. I don't mean crazy, ridiculous reinterpretations or as I say, every now and then one of them comes along that does it for you and it opens up something that you hadn't seen in the plays before but it will date pretty quickly. But that's all right. |
