James Bridie Quotes

“There was... a very palpable fear that involving the Scottish Committee of the Arts Council could lead to a more nationalistic festival, like the Scottish Theatre Festival envisaged by Bridie in October 1946. Some members of the Arts Council's Scottish Committee were considered 'too nationalistic and difficult to work with' by the London office.”
― Angela Bartie, The Edinburgh Festivals: Culture and Society in Post-War Britain

“I must stop writing comic plays - even after sixty years of Shaw and thirty of Bridie, only one critic in a hundred seems to have grasped that it's possible to write comedy with a serious intention.”
― Alexander Scott
