Famous quotes containing the words drama, critics and/or circle:
“If melodrama is the quintessence of drama, farce is the quintessence of theatre. Melodrama is written. A moving image of the world is provided by a writer. Farce is acted. The writer’s contribution seems not only absorbed but translated.... One cannot imagine melodrama being improvised. The improvised drama was pre-eminently farce.”
—Eric Bentley (b. 1916)
“When the critics come around it’s always too late.”
—Sidney, Sir Nolan (1917–1992)
“And year by year our memory fades
From all the circle of the hills.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
