The stage is set with an all too familiar scene. Prop placement is a bit different but the rest is recognizable. I played the lead years ago but now I’m just a member of the audience, watching as the main character struggles through each scene. I already know how this play ends but choose to stay and watch.
Our hero will prevail but not as he hopes he will. Characters that seem to be so important to the story line fade into the background with each scene.
Finally the curtain drops, leaving the audience in suspense, a clue that there will be a sequel.
Maybe it’s time to brush up on my lines for auditions.

All the world's a stage,
ReplyDeleteAnd all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.
Bill Shakespeare, As You Like It
