DISCUSSING DRAMA (a segment of conversation)

As an actor, I must insist that
we know Hamlet best through
an actor's portrayal of that character.
This is why I despise
"Drama as Literature";
one misses the essential element of "seeing" that is Theatre;
drama is doing, not merely reading!
And
whatever a human does, is done
in the context of relationship.
"It is not good for a man to be alone."
As Christians,
we have been made
a theatre to the world
to reveal Jesus Christ.
The call to become imitators of God
compels us
to act out our own portrayal of
the character of Christ
in the daily drama of life.
