Peter Shaffer

I hate it when Brecht says that we should not be interested in the next scene because it distracts us from the current one. I find that priggish and tedious. I want to be enthralled.

Peter Shaffer, to The Guardian

Bertolt Brecht

As we cannot invite the audience to fling itself into the story as if it were a river and let itself be carried vaguely hither and thither, the individual episodes have to be knotted together in such a way that the knots are easily noticed.
