recently i made something up. I manufactured feelings, built an ideal and comfortably set myself in for the show. but very quickly - shortly into Act I - i got a shock. the characters weren't behaving the way i'd planned, and even the feelings didn't seem very convincing. i was disappointed. i got annoyed with the Playwright.
but then i realized one of the lower characters had been misreading the script.
All the characters are best when reading the script. going off-book doesn't improve in this Play. This includes adding side-acts that don't contribute to the flow of the story.
These are gems!
