From the Author’s Elements of Style

I’m continuing the use of my slightly unconventional theatrical elements. Here’s a road map.

(Rest)

Take a little time, a pause, a breather; make a transition.

A Spell

An elongated and heightened (Rest). Denoted by repetition of figures’ names with no dialogue. Has sort of an architectural look:

Buddy

Vet

Buddy

Vet

This is a place where the figures experience their pure true simple state. While no action or stage business is necessary, directors should fill this moment as they best see fit.

((Parentheses around dialogue indicate softly spoken passages—asides; sotto voce.))

[[Brackets indicate possible cuts for production.]]
