An indeterminate number of actors ndash;I think you could do the play with five; maybe even four; but you want the parts to keep switching aroundmdash;talk to each other; mostly in pairs; in a couple of cases threes. The dialogue lasts half a page; a page; two; three pages and then another dialogue starts; on a wholly different topic; sometimes fairly realistic in tone and language (the parts cohere; make sense together); at other times wildly unreal; edging toward surrealism. At one point; an actor tells a story in monologue; ldquo;The Child That Didnrsquo;t Know Fear.rdquo; Itrsquo;s a page long and its conclusion is jolting. There are spare parts ndash;pantomimes; non-verbal signalings; one-liners--- presented at the back of the play with the playwrightrsquo;s instruction to throw them in wherever you please during performance. The effect is theatrical but not narrative. There are fragments of narrative in the text but they donrsquo;t lead anywhere. One dialogue ends; the next begins; and so on and so forth for seventy some pages. Described this baldly; it sounds dreadful but itrsquo;s not ndash;far from it. The effect is to emphasize the act of communication; more than the information being shared. ldquo;This is what we do;rdquo; Churchill seems to say to the audience. ldquo;You decide if it means anything.rdquo;0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
