ABSTRACT

REAL ACTORS long to act in great classical drama. These plays, having passed the test of time themselves, now test the actors. Can they transform themselves? Can they transport the audience out of today and here to Long Ago and Far Away, Once Upon a Time, and Days of Yore? Can they become larger than life and still be real? Those who can are much admired. Great plays, surviving the test of time, also carry the POWER of time. There is actor magic in them.
