Final Request to my dear fellow artists.
Clarity!
- The long notes will take care of themselves; the small notes and their text are what matters. - Never address the audience directly, but always the other character; in monologues look up or down but never straight ahead. -
Final Wish:
Remain loyal to me, my dear friends!
