"I don't want to step on your toes.... I want to knock a hole in your head!"   Dr. Curtsinger

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." Antoine de St. Exupery

" Now here is a strange thing I said to the designers.  If we can succeed in seeing the essential quality of a play others will see it, too.  We know the truth when we see it, Emerson said, from opinion, as we know that we are awake when we are awake.  For example, you have never been in Heaven, and you have never seen an angel.  But if someone produces a play about angels whose scenes are laid in Heaven you will know at a glance whether his work is right or wrong.  Some curious intuition will tell you.  The sense of recognition is the highest experience the theatre can give.  As we work we must seek not for self-expression or for performance for its own sake, but only to establish the dramatist's intention, knowing that when we have succeeded in doing so audiences will say to themselves, not, This is beautiful.  This is charming.  This is splendid, but - This is true.  This is the way it is.  So it is, and not otherwise... "  Robert Edmund Jones

"I want my imagination to be stimulated by what I see on the stage.  But the moment I get a sense of ingenuity, a sense of effort, my imagination is not stimulated: it is starved.  That play is finished as far as I am concerned.  For I have come to the theatre to see a play, not to see the work done on a play."  Robert Edmund Jones
