AN EXCERPT FROM PAGE 18, ACTOR #2:

"No, I feel nothing at all. I used to think that the only way to convince the audience was to feel the emotions I portrayed, but today I have learnt that I can show one set of emotions to the audience and still have others inside me. It's a bit like when linen has a high price on the market even though it was made with shoddy craftsmanship. As long as I can give a genuine appearance to the audience, my feelings can be as false as I like."
