Quote by Andrzej Wajda

The difficulty of writing a good theatre play set in new reality was even greater given that the level of similitude to life that is allowed in a film would not work on the stage.

The difficulty of writing a good theatre play set in new rea

Summary

This quote suggests that creating a compelling theatre play in a new and different reality is challenging, primarily because the level of realism achieved in movies cannot be replicated on a stage. In theatre, where live performances are presented, the audience expects a certain level of suspension of disbelief. Unlike films, which can utilize various editing techniques and special effects, theatre relies on different elements to engage the audience, such as storytelling, acting, and stagecraft. Therefore, playwrights face the additional task of finding innovative ways to convey new realities effectively within the limitations of the stage.
