Once, a few years earlier, Jules had gone to see a play at Ash__ theater, and afterward, during the __alkback,_ when the audience asked questions of the playwright and of Ash, who__ directed the production, a woman stood up and said, __his one is for Ms. Wolf. My daughter wants to be a director too. She__ applying to graduate school in directing, but I know very well that there are no jobs, and that she__ probably only going to have her dreams dashed. Shouldn__ I encourage her to do something else, to find some other field she can get into before too much time goes by?_ And Ash had said to that mother, __ell, if she__ thinking about going into directing, she has to really, really want it. That__ the first thing. Because if she doesn__, then there__ no point in putting herself through all of this, because it__ incredibly hard and dispiriting. But if she does really, really want it, and if she seems to have a talent for it, then I think you should tell her, __hat__ wonderful._ Because the truth is, the world will probably whittle your daughter down. But a mother never should.
