ABSTRACT
We who are building a theatre which must compete with the cinema say: let us carry through the ‘cinefication’ of the theatre to its logical conclusion, let us equip the theatre with all the technical refinements of the cinema (by that I don’t mean simply the erection of a cinema screen on stage). Give us the chance to work in a theatre incorporating modern techniques and capable of meeting the demands which our conception of the theatrical spectacle will create, and we shall stage productions which will attract just as many spectators as the cinema.
