We deal with grief in our own way, but we must allow humour to part of the therapy in taking us from a place of heartbreak to one where we can look back at the times before the moment and take solace in the joy what came before, the small things that make a smile and a laugh the most beautiful response in the world.

The internet made having a flutter on the internet something of a secret, the ability to stay at home whilst playing a game of bingo offered a sense of obscurity and privacy, a seclusion from reality. Rather than being a social experience, gaming, having fun, became a solitary pursuit, unedifying, a sense of the in complete; and one exacerbated by recent effects and situations to which many have yet to grasp the full implications.

The cause célèbre is one that as the 21st Century has marched onwards has gained ever more attention, everyone it seems today has the potential to seek a worthy initiative in which to fight against many of the injustices that blight and damage society. This positive conflict is what keeps us on our toes, but also one that perhaps is orchestrated behind the fact that never before has the ability to rub shoulders and ideas with those we perceive to be celebrity been so prevalent.

“No legacy is so rich as honesty”, as the bard of Stratford noted in All’s Well That End’s Well, or if trust in honour isn’t the bag you entertain when thinking of wills, then to think of theatre as a plaything to be held at arm’s length is a foolish notion that we must discard quickly and efficiently if we are to continue thinking that society is an inheritance that we must preserve at all costs.

Theatre is important for the development of younger minds; it allows the child or pre-teen to be immersed into a world where they can interact and understand their emotions in a way that quite often television and film cannot convey because of the system being a one-way flow of information.

Government and constitutional farce are alive and well and thriving. It could be argued that it is down to the political landscape that never seems to want to give up its grip on absurdity and restriction that sees the genre constantly able to entertain and give people the chills in equal and demanding measure.

To combine the precision of a cinematic lens and the immediacy and freedom that the theatre provides is to perhaps immerse an audience into a noirish cascade of emotional uncertainty, one that leaves them breathless, suitably claustrophobic in their minds and one that gives the senses free reign to relish, to take absolute pleasure in the psychological fear that out there in the world is a disease that has the potential to place humanity in danger.

No matter how much you are urged to climb every mountain, to put your best foot forward and seize the day, you soon realise that life is far from a walk in the park, and the older you get, the more of an uphill struggle it becomes.
