Dazzling Firecracker

Whenever I feel self-doubt, sadness, or worthlessness, I remember my one-and-only theatre review from a performance of The Master Builder from two years ago.

the famous final lines of The Master Builder, which I’d always dreamed of uttering

Playing Hilda Wangel had been a dream of mine for a decade.  Getting the part, speaking the lines, and bringing her to life on stage before an audience was enough of a dream come true, and then I received this review as validation:

My favourite line is the penultimate one.

  1. How lovely to have such a great reminder of how well you did. You must have been so happy 🙂

  2. I can picture 'I am a dazzling firecracker' being a really effective reminder or mantra whenever things get rough. A little weird if you say it out loud, perhaps, but effective none the less.

    Great review. Give it's your one-and-only, you can claim you've had 100% positive feedback 🙂
