Well what an amazing set at the Lyceum with modern technology used at its most effective to enhance some amazing individual performances. The lead playing an autistic youth was outstanding, and it gave such an insightful glimpse into what it must be like for a family. It was full of humour which is a great safety valve when everyone is caught up in such a stressful life. It begs again the question what is normal? We all live life on a spectrum and we know that stresses can sometimes make us all flip. It was in its way quite a humbling experience with the challenge to look at everyone with the eyes of God. Only then will we see the potential of every unique person made in the image of God. More often than not we chose to discretely sideline such people. They become hidden to us as its the easiest way to cope.
I am struck once again how through plays and novels we can discover so much about relationships. God is to be found here just as much as in Sunday worship and the bible if we are open to it. So I count myself fortunate that Jill, I and Lizzie could spend an afternoon soaking up the atmosphere of this play.
The bonus of the day was we could then unwind with strictly come dancing. I wonder who will become our favourite!
