历史悠久的剧院喜欢积累关于自己的神话，这些神话最终会成为一套有意识地认同的道德规范。自1956年第一季以来，英国舞台公司（ESC）一直认为自己是一个激进的戏剧，其基础是其促进的工作，打破了现有的规范，以及在更广泛的背景下，它呈现自己作为一个社会良知的戏剧，与十字军东征和反对的立场。它的第一位艺术总监乔治迪瓦恩（George Devine）在一条经常被引用的建议中将道德置于剧院身份的首位：你应该像选择宗教一样选择你的剧院。别进错庙了。对我来说，戏剧是一种宗教或生活方式。你必须决定你对这个世界的感觉是什么，你想对它说什么，这样你工作的剧院里的一切都在说同样的事情。[...]一个剧院必须有一个可识别的态度。（qtd. Browne，1975年，第10页）
Long-established theatres like to accrue mythologies about themselves that can in time become a set of ethics that are consciously subscribed to. Ever since its first season in 1956, the English Stage Company (ESC) has considered itself to be a radical theatre on the basis of its promotion of work that broke away from existing norms as well as, in a wider context, its presenting itself as a theatre of social conscience, with a crusading and oppositional stance. George Devine, its first artistic director, put ethics at the forefront of the theatre’s identity in an often-quoted piece of advice:You should choose your theatre like you choose a religion. Make sure you don’t get into the wrong temple. For me the theatre is really a religion or way of life. You must decide what you feel the world is about and what you want to say about it, so that everything in the theatre you work in is saying the same thing.[...] A theatre must have a recognizable attitude.(qtd. in Browne, 1975, p. 10)
