"In reading plays, however, it should always be remembered that any play, however great, loses much when not seen in action"

- George P. Baker

About this Quote

This quote by George P. Baker is stressing the importance of seeing a play in action. Checking out a play is a great way to get an understanding of the story, characters, and styles, however it can not compare to the experience of seeing a play performed. When a play is seen in action, the audience is able to experience the emotions of the characters, the environment of the setting, and the nuances of the discussion. The power of a play is in its capability to transfer the audience to another world, and this can just be accomplished when the play is seen in action. Reading a play is an excellent method to acquire an understanding of the story, but it can not compare to the experience of seeing a play performed.
