Audience Quotes by W. Somerset Maugham
- The audience is a very curious animal. It is shrewd rather than intelligent. Its mental capacity is less than that of its most intellectual members.
- The audience is not the least important actor in the play and if it will not do its allotted share the play falls to pieces.
- Comedy appeals to the collective mind of the audience and this grows fatigued; while farce appeals to a more robust organ, their collective belly.
