Michael Billington asks what will theatre of the future be? And concludes it will be strictly pluralist:
"And the only parallel I can think of is with the church in the 19th century. Some spectators will demand the equivalent of the High Mass, full of ritual, colour and spectacle. Others will find the truth and the life in appropriated buildings or outdoor assemblies or revelation in the theatrical version of dissenting chapels. The mistake we make in talking about theatre lies in assuming it is any one thing. Historically it has always been a mosaic of possibilities and my hunch is that in the future it will continue on the path of elusive diversity."
