          Londoner Lynda Martens has done a fabulous piece of work in "Deciding to Collide". I was privileged to meet her in the audience at the Wednesday production and talk with her about her creativity, wisdom, and soul work as playwright and therapist. The cast of two includes Bill Hill as “Paul” and Kathleen Morrison as “Rachel”. Lynda Martens wove a complex story of two people who met by accident in a hotel room, fell in love, lost track of each other for a year and somehow reconnected after a year of longing for reunion. This second encounter is the context of the whole play. Rachel tried hard to defend her self against intimacy by insisting that Paul never wanted or tried to contact her. She rejected his explanations and stories about seeking her even as these became increasingly compelling. Clearly Paul had decided to collide (meet) by every means possible. Rachel had also pursued hope for reunion but limited her success by fears. She channelled her energy in fantasies and in trying to write a play about the relationship. Through the tensions of desire, defence, risk, and playfulness Rachel and Paul eventually develop trust and relax into their hearts’ desires for each other. Along with being entertained, the audience is led to contemplate the common human experience of personal fears limiting success in the passion for real loving relationships. We are led to risk embracing more of our desires. It is local theatre at its best. Bravo to all who made this possible. You have done London proud.
