Theatre

How exciting to
Participate in
The theatre,
To be part of
An audience
Watching and
Listening to the
Lines of a Noel
Coward play.
Like any audience
Grouped around
A fire, speaker,
Chorus or film,
We are participants
In a shared event.
An extension of the
Performers in
Judgement of
Their performance,
We sit bright-eyed
In the dark our
Emotions played
By those on stage,
An evening out
At the theatre.
Each couple
Sharing the
Experience,
Waiting to
Exchange
Our own
Views
With
The one
With whom
We share
Our most
Intimate
Thoughts,
You say theAter
I say thEater.
