Its the time of the year again when the Silverton Drama Group perform their annual gebruary show. This year it is a musical comedy entitled 'The Devil In Disguise'. that pokes gentle fun at the village and some of itsinstitutions.
Those who participate in The Drama Droup, and indeed those who watch the performances, get a good deal of enjoyment out of the shows but they are not for everyone. Not being attracted to stage performance, I would never wish to participate in one and I prefer film to stage as a medium of entertainment.
I prefer to watch the great drama of life in which, as William Shakespeare pointed out, we all play our parts. from birth to death we all play our part in the great drama of life which began long before we weere born and will end, hopefylly, long after we have left the stage. There is no script and we probably never know for sure whether our parts were as stars, supporting cast, walk ons or extras. If there is an audience we never hear their boos or applause and any director there may be gives us no precise instructions.
And when we leave the stage yhjere are no curtain calls.
