Excerpt from The Revolutionist: A Play in Five ActsAs well as looking for more freedom in the making of the play, we should look for more logic and coherence in the construction and writing. To this end Irish writers would be well advised in following French usage in the distinction of scenes. With us a change of scene means a change of place: with the French a change of persons in any one place is a change of scene, every new grouping of persons, therefore, even though it be constituted by the en trance or exit of a single person (we might except a servant or a follower) making a new scene. Such a rule is a clear protection against the introduction of unnecessary persons saying or doing irrelevant things - one should pause before giving a super¿uous character the importance of making a scene. Were we to adopt this rule, it would save us in some measure at least from what is illogical and irrelevant.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
