Something wonderful

THE KING &I  Like Fiddler there is so much good music and story - even in the minor pieces; Like this song ,  the great way the children relate to the King and the way King is open and the woman strong  ( in  a great Opera production in Melbourne this month ),.

Its a tough job to teach.  This story honors that task very well !  Teachers- give yourself a clap and go !

Sometimes it takes the entertainment industry a while to realise that the impulse of youth to abandon the old is mistaken.   A lot  Funding for innovative art willl not be remebered and create the productive streams of stories on this stream .   Noone is going to ever watch again many of purely reactive plays of the present age.    Thinking people don't want" reactive" as a genre .


Even the determinists need to take their own theories seriously and recognise that the new growth is not independent of the old, but grows out from it .
