"We don’t hide our reality away behind the facades of houses or underground – it is there in the streets for everyone to see.

What I wanted to say is that the young people are very different – they are really hungry and thirsty to learn. The last play I directed was by Ionescu and I wanted four actors – a small group. I did absolutely nothing to advertise these acting jobs – not television, not radio, not the papers – but over 150 youngsters turned up through word of mouth, to be tested because they wanted to be in a theatre group."
