Matching Quote
"I have come to believe ... that the stage may do more than teach, that much of our current moral instruction will not endure the test of being cast into a lifelike mold, and when presented in dramatic form will reveal itself as platitudinous and effete.

afresh
when it is obliged to simulate life itself."
-Jane Addams
