Backstage We Players Macbeth at Fort Point

So always avoid banality. That is, avoid illustrating the author’s words and remarks. If you want to create a true masterpiece you must always avoid beautiful lies: the truths on the calender under each date you find a proverb or saying such as: “He who is good to others will be happy.” But this is not true. It is a lie. The spectator, perhaps, is content. The spectator likes easy truths. But we are not there to please or pander to the spectator. We are here to tell the truth.
Jerzy Grotowski

Away, and mock the time with fairest show:
False face must hide what the false heart doth know.
Shakespeare, Macbeth, 1.7
