This play is layered and complex in its narrative style, yet gives very little away. The narrator, is Caspar yet his telling is often so unrealistic that we question the reality of his other statements and claims of innocence. Yet the fact that the play repeats its beginning once the story has been told leads me to believe that the director knew that what they had done was unclear and felt that it was necessary to remind the audience what they had heard so that they could finally join up the dots.

As noted, I'm sick and can't write anything just now. A really bad cold that has settled into my chest, hopefully not more. I'm going to be with the Vicks and a hot water bottle. Will post more plays when I get up. Just a bit of fun.
