John Maynard Keynes was asked how he saw the future and replied "The future is not seen, it is made". However, you cannot make the future when dealing with something conceived out of passion. Thus, the future of London Theatre - whether buildings or productions -- cannot be planned because they represent the substance of faith. So let us examine why drama has never been destroyed and, since early Greek and Roman times, has outlived the very civilisations that produced it... The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-future-of-london-theatre Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.
