Quote
"Ususally when I'm doing a play I read books that are to do with the time. I mean, if you're doing a play set in the 1760s or something, you go and find a book that's set in that time. It's great. And that'll kind of tip you off with a few little bits and pieces, you know? And those little bits, those little minute things, add to the foundation, so when the time comes to go out there and perform, you know you've got a solid foundation underneath you. You feel comfortable." - Robert Grubb, Trade Secrets, p.126
