Watching from the Wings
Rubbing knees with Sondheim and meeting Gielgud at the theatre door. Michael Goldfarb remembers his theatrical life as an actor.
Preparation for a performance on stage goes beyond just memorising lines, learning blocking and hoping it will be alright on the night. A diligent actor studies the history of the period of the play, learns about the intentions of the playwright, and absorbs from older colleagues' knowledge of how the play has been done in the past.
In his less than stellar career as an actor, Michael Goldfarb went through this process many times.
