Helping the Play and Acceptance

I feel again that we are being pulled by extremes here and that the better place would be somewhere in the middle. I will say that yes physical actions are more important than belief or emotional preparation but you can not completely leave these out. I do not however agree in anyway that most plays are better read than preformed. I have never thought that a play was better read. I hate to read a play. Plays are written to be preformed. It's just like Shakespeare never making sense to me until I actually saw it preformed or performed it myself.
As for Acceptance again I get a little lost. I feel as though Mamet is ranting. I agree that you can't make yourself believe something is true when it isn't nor should you try. There is no way you forget you are in a play onstage. Mamet than lose me with his talk of acceptance and it's being the key for happiness and actors. But I do get that the world is the way it is and really there isn't much you can do to change it. I do not however agree with this. There are many ways you can change things in the world around you. Perhaps it would be better to say change what you can and accept what you can't.
