Just finished a short chapter on subtext. This is really fun and short!
"Although in life we often do not reveal a subtext, in theater actors and directors must work to reveal the expressiveness of the subtext"
"A good performance creates a confrontation between the text and subtext"
"Gestures and movements must never merely illustrate the words—that is, they must not repeat the word’s superficial meaning"
