To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Take the dinner business I have named. We will sup- pose the dinner to be a necessary part of the story ; the hungry man had to be fed, and you, the audience, had to see him fed. Now, either he must take twenty minutes or half an hour over the business, and give you and my country friend the impression that you are seeing a bit of real life; or he must hurry up, throw a bit of sponge-cake chicken down his throat, and convince you of the unreality of the whole thing. Is there any third course ? ...Yes, it is for you to frankly accept the thing as a make-believe, a convention, something that is not real life and does not claim to be. But if once you accept this principle, where does it land you?
Follow me and I'll show you.
Nature at every moment and in every land spreads out before you a web of human life, so vast, so complex, so apparently inconsistent, so fortuitous, so bewilder- ing, so fantastic, so multifarious, so incomprehensible, so incommensurable, that one glance at it is enough to cover the playwright with confusion, fill him with despair, and send him empty home, convinced of the hopelessness of ever attempting to do anything like that.
