I am in the process of working on Bound - a new poetic monologue in the manner of Crash - and have made a recording of a draft version of the piece.
As it is intended to be staged, I need you to imagine an almost bare stage apart from a desk and chair facing the audience. On the desk is a notebook and pen, and a laptop computer. The whole is not particularly well-lit.
Assume the speaker is sitting at the desk at the opening of the piece (though he is likely to move around during it).
I would be interested to know what you think…
Thanks for listening.
