Excerpt from The Actor’s Chekhov: Nikos Psacharopoulos and the Company of the Williamstown Theatre Festival, on the Plays of Anton Chekhov
Nikos Psacharopoulos:
I think somebody must have told actors that being efficient is great. When they come into an audition they change shirts and open bags and move chairs and readjust â all these things that are totally unnecessary ⦠I love somebody to come in and do it with a sense of ⦠not a sense of efficiency, but a sense of proportion, to just stand up there and use themselves in the best possible way.
