"As I told you, from the time I was fifteen, I thought the theater was too much involved with actors trying to make the audience love them, being over emotional"

- Richard Foreman

About this Quote

This quote by Richard Foreman talks to the idea that theater can be too focused on the stars and their emotions. He thinks that when actors are too concentrated on attempting to make the audience like them, they become overly emotional and the theater loses its real function. Supervisor's opinion is that theater should be about the story and the characters, not about the actors attempting to win over the audience. He has held this opinion given that he was fifteen, which recommends that he has a strong belief in the importance of storytelling in theater. He thinks that when actors focus excessive on their own feelings, the audience is unable to get in touch with the story and the characters in the manner in which they should. Supervisor's quote is a suggestion that theater ought to have to do with the story, not the stars.
