Allen, et al:
That's because you've struck a chord in the deep inside of these boys, the
vibrations of which are darn near as old as man himself, something that is
primal....sitting around a fire telling stories is the very stuff that
theatre is made of. It is instinctive to man and something almost akin to
religion (please no flames). Very good work Allen.....and a reminder to
all of us that sometimes it's the simple things that work best.
