Your Sentence - 20 years as Director of the Drama Theatre
Hugo Murre is the most experienced theatre director in Estonia - the
only one who has done this work for 20 years at a run. The book "Your
Sentence - 20 years as Director of the Drama Theatre" exposes the life
and the environment of the theatre spanning the period from 1950 to 1970,
providing us information not only about the concrete theatre but also
about the environment of the whole epoch. Nowadays, there has only been
little talk about this specific period, however the theatrical life of
that time was full of cultural events that are even today worth of reminding
of.
In order to make it possible for the culture and the theatre enchantment
to arise there are many necessary elements and creating them in a theatre
is the task of the director. Thanks to the sense of humour surpassing
the yoke of ages and to the analytic administrative wisdom his memoirs
could be of interest for everyone who is in present directing a more or
less creative collective or a working team. How to divide time, how to
control stars, how to encourage becoming a star … These questions are
equally actual not only in a theatre but also … even in an advertising
agency.
The theatre as we recognize it would not be the same without wonderful
actors and directors, without creation stress and stage fright. Hugo Murre's
human and warm memories help the older generation to remind of the once
seen favourite performances and the younger readers to learn about the
youth of the beloved aged culture icons.
