Neverland

We went to a high school production of Finding Neverland. It had the usual problem of this school's productions of not enough boys to fill the roles in the cast.

It had lots of paeans to imagination -- good instincts, but the wrong treatment for malaise of the ordinary. "The world is so mysterious and wild. When you start to see it through the eyes of a child."

Children don't know the half of it.

The mysterious depths are there, the meaning is there, but you don't access them by pretending.

The kids did a good job.
