There are places where a little madness can fit right in – where it might not be as obvious. The theatre tends to be one of those places. Behavior that would get you thrown out of an office is perfectly placed on a stage. The strictures of a theatre life are less confining.
But…in a lot of cases, some folks suffering from some madnesses do better in an office. They will cope better with clearly defined rules of behavior, with narrow lanes. Those lanes are easier to stay in. It’s sometimes easier to drive down a road with no choice about how you do it.
