The word theatre comes from the Greeks. It means the seeing place. It is the place people come to see the truth about life and the social situation.

The theatre is a spiritual and social X-ray of its time.

When you stand on the stage you must have a sense that you are addressing the whole world, and that what you say is so important the whole world must listen.
