Stage Struck...

As the lights slowly dimmed, the stark lighting on the stage became much more prominent.
She looked around her at the restored Victorian theatre and the shadows of the boxes and plaster work grew darker as her focus was pulled towards the stage.

Complete suspension of disbelief...
Drawn into the characters, the story, the magic.
Swept along with the energy of it all.

She'd missed this. She looked and her companion and could see the concentration on their face as the story unravelled on the boards in front of them.

Questions ran through her mind...
Did she make the right decision years ago? Should she have chosen that path? Could she have been there, made it?

A smile across her face... Happy though, now.
