What do you call yourselves actors for if you can't supply acting when the playwright uses dashes!--This is the biggest scene in the play. The very fact that I don't give you a lot of literary lines puts me in the class of the most forceful dramatists of the day! My plays are not wishy-washy lines! They are full of action--red-blood--of flesh and blood! Now you do your part--bing-bang stuff!--shake them in their chairs out there--make shivers run up their spines! Make 'em feel you! Compel their applause! Now go to it! Go to it!!!
