This Much I Know: Willie White, Artistic Director of the Dublin Theatre Festival

I’m a rational thinker. I don’t really believe in fate.

I’m motivated by ideas and the desire to create things together with other people.

I was a bookish child. I had absolutely no plans to work in the arts. I grew up in Abbeyleix, County Laois. I don’t think I had even heard of ‘the arts’ in the 1970s. For nine of those years we only had one television channel.
