Playwright’s notes

There is a conscious rhythm in the writing. At times it feels poetic. But the immediacy and urgency of the story must always be at the heart of the work.

The performance of this work depends on the actor’s ease with swift character changes. The actor must immerse her body in the world of the play.

There is no need for any realism, except for a basic costume for the actor that gives the sense that this story occurred in the 1950s – 60s.

As characters appear they must be defined by a clear and simple physicality.

The vocal changes are dependent on that physicality and on the needs of each character.
