Today I saw a play. I saw a staged reading of a draft of a play called "The Teenage Alchemist." I loved it. It was incredibly well written, and followed two teenage cancer victims and how they interact through the web. One character, Joshua, reminded me of myself, imaginitive, perceptive, out there, intelligent (dare I say it) and optimistic. He has a blog and has a secret wish to be a superhero.
After the play, there was a Q&A with the Theatre company director and the author. Someone critiscised the reality of a 16yo wanting to be a superhero, and in defending the play, I made a fool of myself.
See, I want to be a superhero. I want to be like iron man, or spider man or something and be more than me. That is my fantasy.
