In an age of bland realism on television and technological excess in film, masks have the ability to truly play the fundamental game of theatre - the suspension of disbelief. They ask the audience to participate in the theatrical process in the way children do, with a desire to believe in the simple transformation of actor into character, and to connect their imaginations to those of the actors."--BOOK JACKET |
