This is not actually the way the interview began, as I remember.


BACK STAGE: Let's start with Hamlet's advice to the players, "Suit the action to the word, the word to the action." Do we agree with that?

DELOSS BROWN: Well--at this point in the play, Hamlet is completely crazy, and you will notice that he contradicts himself violently in that speech, so I think you have to take his advice with a grain of salt.

But this must not have pleased, because the remarks and ensuing discussion got left out of the article.

Back.
