Edward Gordon Craig: His Own Words and Images

The voice of Edward Gordon Craig recorded 1951-1960 and his designs, 1900-1926.

"Action... which is the very spirit of acting.
Words... which are the body of the play.
Line and colour... which are the heart of the scene.
Rhythm... which is the very essence of dance."
On the Art of the Theatre, 1911
