Joan Littlewood: “I don’t care who we are. If five of us are gathered at random in this room and we have a subject and it’s exciting, we’d get together on it; you read one bit, I’ll read another, someone can dance, someone knows about music. The objective is just in the team looking for protein; they might not find it, but they might find something quite different” (Littlewood in McCrindle 9:1971).
How do you know when you’ve found protein, Writer?
Joan Littlewood (1914-2002) was both the founder and director of London’s Theatre Workshop.
