Something there is that doesn’t like a mask…….

 …..personally, I love masks, masques, disguise, pretence, theatre, Commedia Dell’arte. There is a certain intrigue about hiding, being secretive, pretending to be something you are not. Actors do this on a daily bases and call it entertainment. For them, it’s a job – a very well paying job. OK, this pandemic has brought the concept
