Extract

When I last heard from Phillip Zarrilli in August 2019, he was going through the page proofs of what would be his final monograph, (Toward) A Phenomenology of Acting. He and I had been in regular contact with each other while writing books about theatre phenomenology; he from the performer and director's point of view, and I from the spectator's. As it turned out, his book came out a year after mine did, and by the time I was able to read it I had lost the chance to tell him how good I thought it was.
