Had there been nothing more to it than hunger for power, he might have gone on to dispense with the actors altogether and made theater with one flashing machine under his personal control. Maybe the thought has crossed his mind. But turning inward in search of themes, he seems to have discovered in his own ironic detachment the strength or the desperation...
