The world is indeed a stage. The presidential candidates in the US are presently preening themselves in full force – sprucing up their image, while attempting to determine what “the people” want to hear. How many coaches are involved in bringing them up to snuff with their rapport with the cameras, with the way they answer tv journalists, coaching them on displaying the right emotion at the right time, the proper stance, the right intonation, selecting topics they want to make their own, ignoring others as actors do with scripts sent their way, lots of money required, lots of spectators needed. Months and months and months of rehearsals on the campaign trail. With every candidate involved, it almost suggests the orchestrating of a Broadway extravaganza. Interesting, highly entertaining, very imaginative, but, a little strange, too, since it’s not at all about a Broadway show.
