As a boy, Id always had an interest in theater. But the idea at my school was that drama and music were to round out the man. It wasnt what one did for a living. I got over that. – Hugh Jackman
My favorite play in drama school was The Bacchae. Its about a king who literally gets eaten alive by all the women in the play in a kind of orgy – its related to the word bacchanal – and I loved that idea of animalistic chaos and following our own desires. – Hugh Jackman
