About this Quote

This quote by Ellen Burstyn speaks to the value of approaching a have fun with a fresh point of view. It is easy to end up being complacent when performing a play, particularly if it is one that has actually been done many times in the past. However, Burstyn encourages stars to discover a method to make the play feel brand-new and interesting. This could be done by exploring the characters in a different method, or by discovering brand-new ways to interpret the text. By doing this, actors can bring a new energy to the play and make it feel as though they are performing it for the first time. This is an essential suggestion that even when carrying out a play that has actually been done many times before, it is still possible to make it feel fresh and new.
