Backstage Pass

Someone requested a backstage pass to my mind.

You don't want to go there - it's horrible.

Backstage there is: a comatose diva that has just been stretchered from the orchestra pit; a troop of elephants warming up for their parts in Aida (which wouldn't be so bad except the elephants are nervous - very nervous); a glam metal band still trying to find its way from the changing rooms to the stage door (last seen in 1984); a big fat road manager trying to keep the IRS official away from the comedy group in dressing room #2; a broken 400kg chandelier covering the floor of the loading bay; a stand up fight between a health inspector and the building services manager about the role of rats in a theatre's ecology...

Need I go on? It's not a pretty place.
