How I remember who’s in the scene, where they’re standing. It’s kind of fun moving these little names around as they engage—until someone comes along and spills their coffee on them.
The play is moving towards the culmination of its second draft. The first draft was read April 9, 2010. Christopher (C. Shorr, the Director) consoled me saying: ”I know, I know, at this stage it’s like cutting with a chain saw.” Something like that. He’d just been through a final draft reading of his Clytemnestra’s Daughters that was a stunning success. Right now, I’m trying to finish up Act III, last scene before the imagined intermission break.
