'Ween Scrooge

For a theatre fag, I'm horribly uninterested in Hallowe'en. I suspect its popularity is a counter to our culture's neurotic fear of mortality. Frankly, death and I are... well, not friends but we do go to a lot of the same cocktail parties. So, I don't really have any desire to be drawn into the festivities.

We will turn out the lights and hide from the children. Aren't we mature?

Does Hallowe'en have a scrooge?
