The article "Bruce Norris: 'I think we are doomed
'
" was published on the website telegraph.co.uk on 07 Mar 2013.
The article carries a lot of comment on Uncompromising American playwright Bruce Norris.
Giving appraisal of the situation it's necessary to point out that Norris’s speciality is pointing a finger at his well-heeled, self-satisfied audience,for Cooke’s swansong — and Norris’s first Court commission — the playwright has chosen to alight on the era’s defining theme: money. This time he is going for broke.
In addition the author of the article mentions that not that Norris has any faith in mankind’s ability to evolve, his theory is that we’ve never really left the cave and that the amoral law of the free market “is the law that we obeyed when we had hair all over the majority of our bodies and hunted and gathered” ,and in plays that sucker audiences as laughs make way for gasps, Norris has taken it upon himself to point this out.
Analyzing the situation it's necessary to emphasize that Norris looks like one of those springy bantamweights who lands jabs and cuts rather than haymakers ,his sharp, alert features are framed by a geekier brand of spectacles, and his mordant drawl suggests perpetual bafflement.
In this connection it’s worthwhile mentioning that his playwriting mostly in the not-for-profit sector — the Steppenwolf Theater in Chicago has put on seven of his plays – has not made him wealthy, he insists.
Speaking of this situation it is also interesting to note that he had throughout his whole life a complete disregard for anything like the financial section of a paper,this is incredibly arrogant and a pretentious for him.
The authoR concludes the article by Norris’s quote : " As soon as the lights come up, you hear the actual things that people think. If I felt that what I was hearing was actual critical analysis of something I’d written, I’d listen attentively. But generally I try to walk out of the theatre when the conversation unfolds because the mundane nature of it is sometimes too much to take. It’s too great a distance from your optimistic expectation of the conversation that you would provoke. I mean generally it’s like, 'Huh, I didn’t like that as much as the play we saw last night, so where are we going for dinner?’”
As fo me I think that this article shows us the point of view of playwright who has his own vision on the current situation in the world. I agree that amoral law takes place in our life , and that many people appreciate only money , but it is the reality and it is unfortunately too late to change something especially by means of playwriting.
