Genre: 
commentary
Abstract: 

Robinson replies to an essayist who claims that today's theater is the representative art of the current age. Robinson argues that theater lives and dies with the actor; that a play can vary from performance to performance, and thus cannot be compared to a purer form of art such as sculpture or architecture.
