The Pattern of a Part
'You evolve a kind of shape. What Edward Gordon Craig says about the dance of a part is very interesting. He said that the public should never have allowed the Lyceum to be pulled down - these boards on which Irving traced the pattern of his performance. You sometimes do feel in theatres you're fond of, like the Haymarket or Drury Lane, that it is extraordinary to be walking the pattern of a part on a floor which generations of actors have directly trodden.'
