END OF ACT 1:

BRADLEY switches on the clippers. Lights start dimming. BRADLEY cuts DODGE'S hair while he sleeps. Lights dim slowly to black with the sound of clippers and rain.

START OF ACT 2:

DODGE still asleep on sofa. His hair is cut extremely short and in places the scalp is cut and bleeding.

I agree with Christine. Let's have the stage direction.

I think it's too perfect as it is. Performance would spoil it.

what sub-prime mortgages shaking credit ratings and uncertainty in energy markets, infinity is definitely worth a lot less than it used to be.

How much do you charge for a ticket to infinity?

This piece cracks me up.

I feel bad for the wolf. And for the crow, too – I guess – which has to listen to the baby read pi for eternity (or until pi runs out – presumably it is whichever comes first).

Alison Broverman has suggested that puppets and pyrotechnics might be a good place to start. What do you think?

A Fringe Bring Your Own Venue though? Possibly. Especially if your venue is "the meta-verse."

But then there is that pesky matter of infinity.

Either way, I would pay good money to see a staging of this.
