From "Lynn Seymour, A Photographic Study by Anthony Crickmay: Kenneth MacMillan's Foreword: "I also knew that Lynn would be able to bring off the moment in Act 3 when Juliet must sit motionless on the bed, because she would understand its theatrical possibilities." And later, Ms Seymour in conversation with Clement Crisp: "For the moment when Juliet has to sit absolutely still on the bed in Act 3, Kenneth said "Shall we dare?" and I felt "Why not?" and so we did! It didn't bother me a bit. It seems like an eternity sitting on the bed, but Juliet is concentrating on that nothingness which you feel when everything is hopeless."
