This is an edited text of the Keynote Address by Al Creighton delivered at the Opening of the School of Drama and Theatre Arts on January 29, 2013.
My thesis this evening has to do with the very close historical connectedness between theatre and education, and the essential importance of this to human society.
The opening of this National School of Drama and Theatre Arts is a very significant event. It brings together drama and training at this time and recalls that this is a replay of history where these two activities are concerned.
