the authenticity of digital interactions is such a loaded question that I'd rather not pull a trigger attempting to answer ... so let someone else do it the way it has already been done much better than anything i could fumble...

what is the expression which the age demands? the age demands no expression whatever. ... there is nothing you can show on your face that can match the horror of this time. do not even try. you will only hold yourself up to the scorn of those who have felt things deeply. we have seen newsreels of humans in the extremities of pain and dislocation.

... speak the words, convey the data, step aside. everyone knows you are in pain. you cannot tell the audience everything you know ... in every line ... you speak. step aside and they will know what you know because you know it already. you have nothing to teach them. you are not more beautiful than they are. you are not wiser.

this is an interior landscape. it is inside. it is private. respect the privacy of the material. these pieces were written in silence. the courage of the play is to speak them. the discipline of the play is not to violate them. let the audience feel your love of privacy even though there is no privacy. ... you are students of discipline. do not act out the words. the words die when you act them out, they wither, and we are left with nothing but your ambition.

... and who shall I say is calling?
