And the work goes on. I’ve been thinking that one of the main structural ideas within the play just isn’t working. No details please. Take my word for it. I can sense that, as much as the “idea” is an interesting one, audiences don’t know what to look for. Never do anything “too new” or “strange” or “fundamentally different” if you can avoid it, because people will walk out the exit door instead of down the hall way of your narrative, and they’ll find themselves standing on the fire escape thinking “why’d he do that?” You weren’t supposed to exit there! Well, if they do, they do.
