Super Moon c Nuala Molloy Moran
STAR
Back from hiatus
Off building character
In the theatre of life
My starring role…
NOW PLAYING: “Lessons Well Learned”
Paring down to the essentials
My lines next to nothing
Emotions cagey, drama crafty
Playing parts I never cast for
Roles I desperately loathed
Scripts had me flowing tears
I ripped those pages to shreds
And stomped off the stage
No curtain calls
Or standing ovations
Throwing away the life
Of a drama queen
I never asked for the part
Miscast, I chose for my tables to turn
Replacing handkerchiefs with smiles
Yes, back from hiatus
Directing my own play now
A radiant star on the stage again
Becoming the applauded actress
Most remembered for trading tragedy for comedy
