“Our Brilliant Mother She did not go to school But she schooled us on many things She was not qualified Regardless she gave us quality care She missed out on her own career Since we were her full-time job She was not in a high position Yet she made things happen She was not a celebrity Still, we celebrated her presence in our lives She never lived life to the fullest Because she lived for us She did not have it all Even so, she was all we had She was not perfect Simply the best This is enough reason to always cherish Our brilliant Mother!”

“And school isn’t the same as theatre,” said Xavier, gazing round the building. “In a classroom you can talk this stuff through, interrogate it, contextualize it, and so on. You can’t do that here. There’s no pop-up footnotes to explain the subtext while the story is happening in front of you. That’s different. Makes it feel…real. Or at least endorsed: like, this is how it is and we’re not going to explain it. Study it critically by all means, talk about it, but don’t stage Othello and expect me to just sit there and drink it in, okay? Not gonna happen. Not Othello, and not The Merchant of Venice.”
