Drama takes a pause
Between the three year old and the 82 year old it is hard to tell the difference – they live for play and for drama. “We’re going out for a bit,” we say and suddenly, the old woman falls back on the sofa feeling faint, the little boy, naked, throws himself on the same sofa and demands cartoons while he pulls his pudding.
Drama takes a hiatus in the middle years of getting and spending – it is only when you are doing neither that you can entertain flair for real.
