Overview

Excerpt from Masques and Mummers: Essays on the Theatre of Here and Now It is possible to conceive, perhaps, that an actor might so stir his own sentiments, arouse his own emo tions, work upon his own imagination, delude his own senses, as actually to participate in the passion that he set out to feign. His heart might come to throb with real grief, his eyes dim with real tears, his whole being to be affected with real sorrow. But, plainly, at such a point dissembling ceases. The acting transforms into reality, and when it becomes reality it is no longer acting! That follows as certainly as the Q. E. D. Of Euclid.
