Utah Shakespeare Festival Founder Fred C. Adams’ Favorite Shakespeare Quote: The Merchant of Venice

Ahhha...!

A PLAY: a dramatic event — an imitation of life — a story — ; tragic — comic — historic — farcical  — realistic — impressionistic — and on-and-on; at the end, the players — slayers and slayed — villains and hero’s — fools and wise, all stand together safe and unharmed upon the “boards”. 

When a line — an action, small or large — creates an Ahhha...!: insight — discovery — recognition — understanding — catharsis; “the play’s the thing...” and “...that little candle throws his beams...”

Carpe Diem,

Carl
