Quote by Alfred Jarry

The virtue of dress rehearsals is that they are a free show for a select group of artists and friends of the author, and where for one unique evening the audience is almost expurgated of idiots.

The virtue of dress rehearsals is that they are a free show

Summary

This quote suggests that dress rehearsals, which are typically exclusive events for the author's friends and select group of artists, offer a unique benefit. They provide a chance for the audience to be free from "idiots," implying that it is an opportunity to have a refined and discerning group of individuals who can truly appreciate and understand the artistic efforts. The quote implies that the elimination of such individuals creates an environment where the performance can be better appreciated and enjoyed by those who have a deeper understanding of the artistic process.
