We had to figure out how to balance those notions: respecting the legacy of our theatre ancestors but being responsible to theatregoers.” But you contrast that with knowing that doing it might lead to people getting sick or dying, ‘dangerous’ not in an ideological way but in terms of the virus. “There has always been an idea that theatre could be this dangerous thing.
