Notable Quote:
"You need Shakespeare and
Chekhov every 15 minutes of your life because every 15 minutes
of our lives we forget we're human beings. Shakespeare
and Chekhov grab you by the lapels and say" 'You
Idiot! You're living! Living your life!' We need
that every 15 minutes." Brian
Kulick, artistic director of Classic Stage Company,
quoted by Julie Salamon, NYTimes, 2-5-04
