Rumours by Neil Simon
Two days
ago I caught a play here; I really like the all rounded experience I’m getting
here. It’s been a long time since I last watched a play; the last musical I caught
was Wicked. It’s also been a long time since I last acted in a play; I miss the
lights, the action, the rehearsals, the adrenaline, and the heart in your mouth
feeling right before the curtains go up.
Actually on
a day to day basis we’re all acting, we’re putting on fronts, masks, and the
stronger the front the more vulnerable the person is because there’s just so
much going on. Then when you get to know somebody better, the walls start
breaking down. You go much deeper, you realize that a person’s past is
intricately linked to his behavior now, you learn more about the person, and
get used to his habits. Then it’s up to you to reciprocate, and let down that
front bit by bit. Do we dare take that step?
