Ladies and Gentlemen! Give a big hand to....

After midnight,

the theatre still

enjoyed a cast

of shadows,

not seen for awhile.

Long deceased

actors, actresses 

enjoyed the anonymity

of performing their lines,

alone on stage.

The silence deafening

on empty chairs,

not even security noticed

the gaiety centre stage,

as they took a bow

on the final curtain.
