They Walk the Line

In Reynolds' view, people act transversally when they are "tolerant of the different, open to the thoughts and feelings of others." When people see a play about the lives of people of whom they have little understanding, as they hopefully start to empathize, they move outside of the emotional, conceptual and physical territorial walls that they have set up for themselves.

Tough going, but Reynolds wouldn't have it any other way.
