I believe it is vital to our collective sanity, indeed to our society as a whole, that theatre--that wonderful, communal crucible of imagination and emotion, of darkness and light, of language and laughter--should be ready to come back strong, to once again courageously confront our questions and fears, bring us back to a sense of ourselves and our community, and celebrate our resilience and fortitude after this challenging time apart. To borrow from that Shakespearean Dane, “The readiness is all.”
