I think this may have some merit.
One of my most pleasant experiences was watching...I think it was Eileen Atkins, "perform" an adaption of Virginia Woolf's extended essay A Room of One's Own. Now, the essay in itself is certainly a pleasant read, but its performance (like an aural performance of a book) added another dimension to it, and, in my opinion, suitably enhanced and enlivened it. This "lecture-style" of performance is, to me, quite interesting (I similarly was rapt in the late Spalding Gray's Terrors of Pleasure) and I can see other such notions, such as it extending to the still-popular "storyteller" performance.
Cheers,
Marc
