The author Tom McCarthy believes car parks should replace theatres because:
Car parks are really fascinating spaces, full of geometry, technology and menace; anything could happen in them.
He also explains the degree to which his work is political:
All art is political inasmuch as it takes place within the space of the polis, and involves language and social relations and the Symbolic Order in general. But I never make work that's polemic, or that has a message. That's not what art's there for. What's genuinely radical about good art is that it detonates a kind of ambiguity-bomb at the heart of the polis. That's true from Aeschylus to Joyce.
