It has been years since I’ve been to a live theatre production… possibly a decade? Maybe not quite that long.
I used to love going to Shakespeare plays, or to musicals in downtown Toronto. They’re expensive now… they were expensive back then too, but I used to be able to afford it.
Yesterday I was able to attend an incredible performance of Rosmersholm at the Crow’s Theatre in Toronto because a good friend of mine is in the cast. It was… devastating. I can still feel the performance sitting on my chest.
It was one of those times that makes me feel both unbelievably proud to be an artist, and sad that I have never written or created anything as raw and powerful as that. Gosh is it good. Calling it “good” is actually a grave disservice.
Some day. Some day I will write something as good as that.
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
