Exquisite pain
Since I've been in Sydney, its been mostly heads down working (not the very productive kind either). I love that whenever I do come up for a breather, there is a variety of Sydney entertainment to pick from. Tonight I saw an excellent 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' at the Belvoir Theatre. And only afterwords did I realize that the actor I found quite attractive is a Marton Csokas a Hollywood biggie.
The title of this post is in reference to the dynamics between one of the couples. It is surface antagonistic, made less murky when Martha explains the only man who ever made her happy is:
George, my husband... George, who is out somewhere there in the dark, who is good to me - whom I revile, who can keep learning the games we play as quickly as I can change them. Who can make me happy and I do not wish to be happy. Yes, I do wish to be happy. George and Martha: Sad, sad, sad. Whom I will not forgive for having come to rest; for having seen me and having said: yes, this will do.
