Anyone can turn on a TV program 15 minutes into it and know exactly what is going on and who did what to whom. But television executives insist on including 15 minutes of narration in the script. Anyone can look at a couple across the lobby of a hotel and tell more or less what they're talking about and how they feel about each other. You don't need narration in the writing of a play. You need action just so in the acting, you don't need portrayal, you need action again. What is this action? The commitment to achieving a single goal. You don't have to become more interesting, more sensitive, more talented, more observant to act better. You do have to become more active, choose a good objective, which is fun and it will be easy choose something that you want to do. The impulse to play to imagine. Got you interested in theater in the first place you knew as Children that the game had to be fun. You played war or marriage or lost in the woods, you did not play root canal, choose a fun action. You remember how actions rehearsed and performed grow stronger because they are fun. You can rehearse that goodbye speech to your girlfriend or boyfriend 50 times and it is still fun. That's all the mystery. There is to the objective. It is an action which is fun to do and is something like that, which the author intended. While you are intent on an objective, you do not have to compare your progress to that of your peers. You do not have to worry about a career. You do not have to wonder if you are doing your job. You do not have to be reverend to the script, you are at work. Not only is it the simple solution to a seemingly complex problem, it is the right solution. Not only is it the right solution, it is the only solution.
