The name of this blog is a Play on Words. It seemed so clever to have the word play in the title. But sometimes words aren't clever and they aren't playing. They can be a vehicle for laughter or become the single most painful weapon.
It would be too easy to enjoy the drama world in a silly and giddy way, but as with all other art forms you have to have contrast. I was thinking back over the years of Elements plays and they have all had comedy and tragedy, joy and sorry, misunderstanding and clarity. The first and only time I saw the Dining Room it was so balanced between hurt and kindness, the laughable and the cry-able that I could only stand it once. I thought about it for days after. I'm still not sure what happened...
Isn't that what makes Drama great ? The believable strong contrast that changes your life, even if you don't know how.
Life is like that. Isn't it ?
