due to the global pandemic of 2020
world theatres were shut
down
and no dramatic or melodramatic
productions went on show in many a
town

actors and behind the scenes workers
had been left
unemployed
as restrictions on close quarter gatherings
were summarily
employed

theatre audiences in 2021 are needed
to fill the empty
seats
so that all companies are able to recover
from the imposed
retreats  

the virus financially affected the world's
stages last
year
and this year we can buy a ticket to support
the dramatic art's
sphere
