I didn't like the play, but then I saw it under adverse conditions - the curtain was up.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Well, I go to the theater today, and its curtain - there is no curtain in this play; the lights go down and go up - and we start. And I live this character for two hours. There are only two of us in the play. And It's a complete experience.
Who has not sat before his own heart's curtain? It lifts: and the scenery is falling apart.
The critic leaves at curtain fall To find, in starting to review it, He scarcely saw the play at all For starting to review it.
A good play puts the audience through a certain ordeal.
I didn't like the way the game was being played.
I was jumping out of my skin. It was horrible. I was all over the place, because I'd never been in front of a live audience. That's a whole other element in the play, the audience.
But Nature cast me for the part she found me best fitted for, and I have had to play it, and must play it till the curtain falls.
I always felt the play came first. If it didn't touch me, I'd say forget the part.
I never saw the play, although I heard it was good.
Certainly a curtain has never fallen too soon for me. Every play is too long, even the short ones. Every concert, every film, every television programme the same.
