The World as Will and Representation. The Apollonian experience bears great similarity to the experience of the world as "representation" in Schopenhauer's sense, and the experience of the Dionysian bears similarities to the identification with the world as "will." Nietzsche's workThe World as Will and Representation. The Apollonian experience bears great similarity to the experience of the world as "representation" in Schopenhauer's sense, and the experience of the Dionysian bears similarities to the identification with the world as "will." Nietzsche's work "Birth of Tragedy" and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

Four Figures :

Puppet -- new
Spectator -- Horatio
Player -- Father, Son and Holy Ghost (Shakespeare, Beckett, Stoppard)
Public -- masses, crowd (rational?)

Pragmatism (Americana) and Theatre -- anti-theatrical culture.

In fact, very little of culture and a lot of civilization.

Spengler's conflict between Rome and Athens : New World and Europe?

-- What about the last western country that believes in Christ of different kinds? "In God we Trust"

Made in USA and American Idealism...

Director's Thoughts. not Director's Notes?

There is no American Hamlet, but plenty of Rosencrantzs and Guildensterns -- and all of them are dead. Businessmen.

Americans put their feet on the table to rest, but they won't take out their shoes! They are silly because they are relaxing without getting of their three-piese suits.

Even health for them is WORK.

"We were called/send" -- R/G : my boys, this is not a calling! It's just a phone call!

Come and (en)joy [join] us -- First Player.
Player 2 (Castle, Palace, Show) -- watch your future.
Player #3 (Boat, Sea, England) -- Why didn't you jump to pirates with Hamlet?

Electric Chair and Waiting for... Godot? Where is this arm-chair? "LazzyBoy" -- throne of losers. Relax, Ros, rest, Guil -- when Rosencrantz takes off his shoes, and -- socks. Oh, you can walk on water, but barefoot only.
