Summary:Those who work in theatre have their own fleet of kinships. The moment they sit down for the first rehearsal or stand in the circle of an early workshop, the habits of family slowly crawl out of the hold and start chatting up the mother, brother, sister, wife, husband, father and, more often than not, the lover in the room.
