the world stage

theater the earliest audio-visual media.

All the world’s a stage,

And 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.

As You Like It Act 2, scene 7, 139–143

Even if one does not subscribe to this thought of Shakespeare, there is nothing like the euphoria created by the clapping of the hands,

Using our, body, voice, costume and gestures it is bringing alive a character created to awaken a reaction, a thought process.

Each time I don a role, it is being a new person, discovering the character within me.

Fragrance of the green room, the arch lights, the anticipation of the audience are all leading to a climax. The catharsis is the performance and the redemption is the ovation.

Do you remember the Oliver Goldsmith, the dual presentation of Miss Neville?

The magic of Mr.Jekyll and Dr,Hyde the romance of the Phantom of the Opera.

theater creates its Magic.
