Misfits
continued
from page 8
deed felt myself awkward and ugly
and a lonely misfit, like so many
children, and must have connected
to the hope that I too might possess
hidden gifts.
But there is so much more here.
This is a story of the power of out
siders. The three main children are
staked at various points on the spec
trum of outsiders—the social misfit,
the misunderstood genius, and the
person whose capacity to blend in
comes at the expense of his essen
tial self, who then remains impris
oned in loneliness. This story pro
foundly illustrates the pressures
most humans feel to conform to
norms that squash the deep truths
o f their being, and how it is that
outsiders make the best containers
for the most challenging truths.
Reflecting on my own experience of
childhood and my current experi
ence of adulthood as I watched this
story gave me a balanced set of
reasons to w eep -at how this story
must have resounded for me then
and how it encourages me now.
And that is reason enough to re-
stage this inspiring bit of theater.
