Israel Horovitz : (3) " If work isn’t rooted in comedy, people will turn from it, or they’ll use it like soap opera. " - Israel Horovitz " Theatre’s great. It’s such an act of faith. It’s a wonderful art form where you suspend disbelief for a couple of hours. It’s a lovely art form because the actors and the audience are alive and in the room at the same time together. That’s why I love the theatre. " - Israel Horovitz " It’s one of the terrors of old age that your body is not your friend. Or to be out on the street and be frightened of someone because you’re not in good shape and can’t do anything about it. " - Israel Horovitz
