“The Play’s The Thing”

For the director…

When you make it (your direction) solely about what’s best for the play, you can’t go wrong.

When you make it about anything else like your ego, your “vision”, your career, etc…do so at your own peril.

The play’s the thing. It’s always been the thing. It’s the only thing.

P.S. – This soliloquy from the master, Ian McKellen.

P.P.S. – H/t to my close friend and phenomenal director, Ron Klier, for inspiring this post.
