Single Drama

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or drama:

“There isn’t a single human characteristic that can be safely labeled as “American.””
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

“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)
