All the world's a stage

How true that drama is a mirror to life.Shakespeare said All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely the players who strut and fret upon the stage.they have their exits and entrances tonite im gonna watch,theatre,a love story.i love reading the plays that echo a slice of reality from Ibsens A Doll's House,Arthur Millers The Death of a Salesman to Eugene O Neil Long Day's Journey into the Night.i felt some well written novels could be recast as plays.like Lu Xun The story of Ah Q or Family Changes Jia Bian by Ba Jin but the one truly great novel written by 23 years old Carson Mc Cullers The Heart is a Lonely Hunter has great potential as a theatre play with its theme of alienation,injustice n loneliness. its deja vu after i watched the japanese movie theatre as i seemed to have read the mind of the director Isao Yukisada who staged a play within a play.the movie was well casted as i abhor the self centred,narcisstic playwright who was possessive and parasitic
