Comment on "A Play"

This in response by my friend Pat to a previous post "A Play in a Series of Poems."

 heaviness, sadness, frustration,

confusion, depression, tears and at times desperation,

even if laced with love, compassion, insight, and humor

I think this describes life, and most plays too. Remember “The Outgoing Tide?” It’s all in how you tell your story. To have people pay, they want to have some empathy with or at least recognize the characters or their situations, see some change and growth, some crisis points, resolution (or not, sometimes) and in many cases, laughs are needed to relieve the deeper parts. And that’s entertainment!
