Theater was murdered

Theater was murdered
last night.

A flood of laughter
took its breath away,
and stole tears from its eyes.

As the lights dimmed
and roses fell on the stage,
with horror, I realized
the truth of that false suicide.

  2. A week or so ago I went to see a play, based on a 20th century drama. The company representing the play changed it into a sorry excuse for a comedy, but kept some of the original dramatic lines... the result was a disaster.

    However, the play was based on the mysterious fate of a girl who - it was assumed - committed suicide and was found in the river Seine in Paris. The full story of "the unknown woman of the Seine" (L'Inconnue de la Seine) can be read here: http://www.singlearticles.com/the-girl-from-the-a3576.html . It is a fascinating story my good friend.
