Fiction
- Art is conscious and its effect on
its audience is to stimulate consciousness. This is sexy, this
is
- exciting, it is also tiring, and
even those who welcome art-excitement have an ordinary human
- longing for sleep. Nothing wrong
with that but we cannot use the book as a pillow.

- Drama
- When you watch movies you are so
wrapped in the dark that you can be persuaded to believe
- almost any nonsense. It's part of
the fun of movies.... Live theatre is something very different.
- There is all that light coming from
the stage. You are never unaware of surrounding members of
- the audience,
or of the fact that you are observing actors impersonate other
people. The result is
- that you develop
bifocal vision, which allows you to appreciate both the fiction
taking place on
- the stage and the skills of the people
making it possible.
