The premiere performance of the G8 theatre production

The premiere has been and gone, now the leading actors (George Bush, Tony Blair and Angela Merkel) stand bowing to the audience as they await the applause, the encore calls, the backslapping, and the breathtaking caressing critic of how great they were and are, how there has never been a show like it, and how much they accomplished in their breathtaking and spellbinding performance.
And when we the audience awake from the spell as we stagger out of the mesmerising atmosphere of the G8 theatre and realise that real life is just as it was before and that a performance is just a performance, and that a visit to the theatre is just a visit to the theatre, and not a thing has really changed in our life at all, with the exception that now we have the memory that we have seen a theatrical piece that is now a been and gone.
