Peter Morgan on truth
Wednesday 18th November 2020
Quote of the day: “People bang on all the time about whether what I’ve done is the truth or not. Well, to me, history is just a series of elaborate fictions. There are people who are bound journalistically to a code of ethics that means they can’t quote something that isn’t sourced, whereas what I do is entirely unsourced. I effectively fictionalise history and yet somehow aim at a greater truth.” (Peter Morgan’s The Crown)
