Excerpt from The Joy of the Theatre

In writing of the theatre of our time he who would choose such a title might fairly be suspected of irony, for in what theatre in England or the English-speaking world shall joy be found? Yet a sturdy hope weaves the two words into one sentence on the threshold of a book, that they may meet again in men's minds and, in due course, bring the things themselves together. Men create everything in their own image and always get exactly what they deserve, neither more nor less.
