The art of the aside in theatre is a tribute to the writer’s immense skill to break the fourth wall in such a way that the silence on stage is filled with a cacophony of stunned appreciation. It is not so much the secret being revealed or the information shared for the audience’s elucidation, but for the truth that dare not be spoken to those who share the scene; and when this ability is taken to its next logical step on television, it highlights the weight of the unvarnished conscious at play; unhindered by the crowded thoughts of others who will only derail the investigation of the self-analysis.
