Sincerity of emotions, feelings that seem true in given circumstances -- that is what we ask of a dramatist. -- Aleksandr Pushkin
"This expression means . . . the story of the play, the facts, events, epoch, time and place of action, conditions of life, the actors' and régisseur's (director's) interpretation, the mise-en-scène, the production, the sets, the costumes, properties, lighting and sound effects -- all the circumstances that are given to an actor to take into account as he creates his role." -- An Actor Prepares

"The play's the thing wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king."
