Editorial: A bit of
melodrama in our lives is a good thing! |
 As
I'm off to see Tamasha Theatre Company's
new production 'Wuthering Heights'
tonight, I couldn't help but note
how a little melodrama in our lives
is a good thing. It gives us a frisson
of pleasure, a short-lived feeling
of being special and an adrenaline
boost to tackle new challenges. Of
course, a healthy dose of dhol achieves
the same effect so take advantage
of Vaisakhi in Trafalgar Square this
Sunday or listen to Saqi Roadshow's
excellent track celebrating Vaisakhi
(see below). |
