George Bernard ShawThe play was a great success, but audience was a dismal failure.
About This Quote
Many great plays have been performed throughout history, but their audiences have often been dismal failures. For example, Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” was a great success and is still widely read and performed today. However, when Shakespeare first presented it to an audience of London nobles, the play was so poorly received that he vowed never to perform it again.
