one note symphony

It's impossible to tell from one role
whether she's simply a brilliant actress
of prodigious, genius gift, or just
a real character. Yet here's the rub.
The award rolled in, and the public demand,
so she wrote her own ticket pretty much,
and now that's the only role she'll take.
Which is fine by the production houses! But
now nobody's going to find out. Will they?

It so happens I know. See, we were
in a small play together once, before. Ran
for three weeks and a half, and hoooooooo!
She stank.
The director should have listened to me.
I told her: you need to let her
write her own part.

Make it her own.
She survived
the misstep,
strove on and now,
well the rest
is current events.
She has, actually
far more range
than anyone
