With short sentences they create a different atmosphere and lead to the home of the respected DDDr. Jekyll, who, having a triple doctorate, invites the best companies to his place three times a week.
Say please and thank you
In brief sentences they set out complex questions: What is good? What is evil? What can and should theatre actually do?
