ABSTRACT
Acting means dreaming at fixed moments in fixed places. (Imagination might be called dreaming.) The actor must dream his own dreams underneath the playwright’s dialogue. What you see and hear on the stage is not all that the playwright has written. Beneath his words lie the dreams of the actor. If you even say a simple line, “Hello, my Darling,” without a dream behind it, without a personal fantasy of some sort, you are not acting. 1
