Memory lane beckons all who believe second looks bring clarity but all I can see is someone not "me" who enacted a stranger's script. I know the writer was not well informed of inbred character traits that lay in wait for love's debut on the stage of everyday life. It happened, of course, the curtain rose but I focus my gaze backstage to witness all the palaver that always precedes a play. And there lies the real tragedy, comedy if you will, but from hair to nails to dress-up it all makes sense in the end. Without the preceding I'd be no star bowing to all the applause and it doesn't matter, you know, you know, if the audience numbers one. I bow to me! Helen / 16 November 2010 |

Astounding concept, Helen, and carried out brilliantly. The almost insanity of the behind the play is a wonderful metaphor for the mindgames of star-crossed lovers, or wanna be lovers. I really like this. I am adding this to my library. You have the honor(?) of being the first and only one so far. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

Thank you all so much - and JerryPat, it is most decidedly an honour. How could it not be? Helen |
