In all likelihood many people will not perceive that what follows is beautiful (without superlative: to start) and even if we assume that one or two things interest them, they may never believe those things were intended.


 

LOOK!

 

A play?

THE GIDOUILLE

 

A play where heroes bring their scenery with them.

 

 

A play that proves that authors have turned their characters inside out and put their soul on the outside: the soul is a tic.

 

THE EMOTIONS

 

A play featuring an insomniac prince.

THE HOLD

 


In all likelihood…


 

THE EXCITEMENT

 


In all likelihood Kenneth will appear amongst the bookshelves:


 

THE GIDOUILLE

 

It would be curious, I believe, to produce this play (and at little expense really) in the following manner:

 

THE AFTERNOON IN ANTWERP

 


1


A moustache for the main role, Stephen, which I could draw for you if necessary. But then I believe you have yourself been involved with this business of moustaches.

 

THE MANY MANY TIMES

 


2


A horse’s head of cardboard, which he could hang around his neck as in the old English theater, for the only two equestrian scenes.

 

THE OPTIONS

 


3


Only one set, or better yet, one catchall backdrop, eliminating raising and lowering the curtain. A suitably costumed person would come in, as in puppet shows, to put up signs indicating the scene.

 

THE EVERYDAY PRACTICE OF CONJURING

 


4


The elimination of crowds, which are often bad on stage. For the great scuffle scene, the audience would utterly do the job.

 

THE FOURTH OF APRIL

 


5


The adoption of an “accent” or better yet, a special “tone of voice” for the principal character.

 

THE FRIENDS OF WILLIAM FAULKNER

 


6


Sordid costumes because they make the action more wretched and repugnant…

 

THE IMPATIENCE

 


7


Oh, and also a mischievous (though a bit freaky) hand crawling around the stage.

 

THE REWARD

 


In all likelihood The Banquet Years are ahead of us.


 

TO BE CONTINUED…

 

Entrevue
