'if'...
. . . is neither a watcher nor a dreamer. . . does not reflect life , but doesn't escape or withdraw from life either: swallows it. And the imagination won't stop until it's swallowed everything . . . to a world where nothing is outside the human imagination . . . - Northrop Frye

"In everyday life 'if' is an evasion, in the theatre 'if' is the truth. In everyday life 'if' is a fiction, in the theatre 'if' is an experiment." Peter Brook -- The Empty Space
