"I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act"

Orson Welles is recommending that the audience must be provided simply enough information to stimulate their creativity and get them associated with the efficiency. He thinks that if the audience is given too much info, they will not have the ability to contribute anything of their own. By giving them just a tip of a scene, they will be able to use their own imagination to fill in the blanks and become part of the efficiency. This is what offers theater its meaning, as it becomes a collaborative effort in between the performers and the audience. Welles thinks that this is what makes theater so special and unique, as it allows the audience to enter into the efficiency.
