The basis of drama is... the struggle of the hero towards a specific goal at the end of which he realises that what kept him from it was, in the lesser drama, civilisation and, in the great drama, the discovery of something that he did not set out to discover but which can be seen retrospectively as inevitable.

  • -- David Mamet 大卫·马梅

戏剧的基础是……英雄的斗争结束时对一个具体的目标,他意识到,让他从它是什么,在较小的戏剧,文明,在伟大的戏剧,发现他没有开始发现,但可以看到回顾是不可避免的。
