Quote • SIR PETER HALL • Acting versus Performing

Detail from a portrait of Sir Peter Hall by his daughter Jennifer Caron Hall. [Wikipedia] “To me the greatest actor was [Ralph] Richardson. Larry was a great performer. In a way you always knew it was performing. But he was such an extraordinary conjurer that he literally took the audience’s breath away. I don’t quite think that’s acting but, by God, it’s performing.” Peter Hall
