The stage.

It is large and exhibits signs of frequent use – creaky floorboards, chipped paint – but still young and sturdy. On this platform, many a play has taken place. Each depicting the anatomy of life – the tragedy, the comedy, the drama, the romance and the history. Hundreds of actors have played a part – the villain, the friend, the relative, the lover and the extras. Some come and go. Others choose to keep up appearances. Several remain chronic performers.

Curtain calls.
