Linda Bassett on 1970s new writing
Saturday 1st February 2014
Quote of the day: “Lots of actors long to devise their own work, and I loved it and found it satisfying, but eventually I grew frustrated. I wanted to perform words that I hadn’t made up myself. I loved new writing and I wrote letters to two companies I admired: one was the Royal Court, the other was Joint Stock. They carried the torch of new writing. To me, they were the shiny places.” (Linda Bassett on Caryl Churchill)
