Best 3 quotes of Edward Gordon Craig on MyQuotes

I believe in the time when we shall be able to create works of art in the Theatre without the use of the written play, without the use of actors.

That is what the title of artist means: one who perceives more than his fellows, and who records more than he has seen.

Perhaps one of the chief distinctions between a Drama for Marionnettes and a Proper Drama is this ... that whereas a Proper Drama has to be vague and roundabout in its movements, a Marionnette Drama had always better be direct and rapid and even obvious ... A Marionnette is not at all clever -- not subtle. He must fit the characte rlike a hand fits a glove, or all is undone. Therefore when we make a character in one of our Dramas we make the Marionnette to fit it. And so it comes about that a Marionnette does not play a number of parts, he plays only one... that is himself.
