Thoughts about the White Road... by Gerrie

This article is not really related to any catholic matters, but it was performed by one of the members of our community, Candice, and I thought it would be nice to put a poem of afterthoughts after watching the play, to let the rest of the community in on this wonderful performance.

The White Road
SRT Theatrette
Singapore Repertory Theatre
21 July 2001

Arrived early
Parked the car
Collected the tickets
Dawdled

Bathed in the ambience
Made small talk
Seven sips after
Queued

Jostled and shoved
Squinted and glared
Found the seats
Sat

Played throw and catch
With tittle-tattle
In freezing temperatures
Waited

'Ladees and gentlemen, the SRT's Young Theatre Company is proud to present …
"The White Road" …'

Ssshhhh

Tumble and turn
Pound and stomp
Fumble mumble rumble

Screech and crow
Bodies roll
Arms flailing and arms akimbo

Foxes run and hunters chase
Babies born and mothers fazed
Hearts thumped
Stop!

A ray of light
From a shattered mirror
For an Indian monk
Hope

A couple to wed
Tales to tell
Frightful dreams
Ding!
Chambers of horror
Heads all over
Lovely wife-to-be
Killed

Life's ironies
A Grimm's fairy tale
In matter of minutes
Told

Upon the audience
A striking effect
Of physical mastery
Unleashed.

Though story undone
The journey long
All but one must be
Traveled

The White Road
