Quote of the Day

Violence, I had come to believe, is almost never conceptually or formally contained and limited to its appropriate, designated targets. In other words, it is not rational. It is not mechanical. The well-made play reflects the Newtonian clockwork universe. What I was after is more like nuclear fission in which the explosion of something minuscule unlooses catastrophic, ungovernable devastation.

—David Rabe, The Vietnam Plays
