The house was packed, everyone around me laughing & cheering, enjoying all the conventional schticks & traditions of a distinctive English pantomime. And within it all, although at a distance, an echo of something quite real.
Apparently there have been some humorously badly-behaved children at the shows. They shout die! and eat the apple! at Snow White. And when one of the child performers went into the audience, told him you're crap!
"Suffering is our experience of the distance between what we are and who we wish to become."
