reading on the plane
It was bizarre and somewhat cool to be reading the new script on the plane to London. Being closer to the stars while reading gave it a whole new meaning that sounds cliche but was still moving. It's interesting when you read something new it starts to frame the experience that follows the read. My travels in London, Dover and Paris were slightly framed with the thoughts of the play-the sharing, the judgements, the stories-what is important, who will we remember and why do we remember the people that we do? These questions were present throughout my journey. I am really drawn to the characters in the sky/heavens/system and like the new twist. I am also reading "Lovely Bones" right now and the Aeriel view is a cool point of view.

Wow I've missed a lot. You know the Peter Jackson is making The Lovely Bones into a film right now.
Ah, Lovely Bones. I'd forgotten about that book. But now that you've reminded me I remember really loving the idea of having a main character with an aerial point of view.
It's all one big journey, isn't it?
My notes from our workshop last June said that this play needed to be about travel rather than the stillness of raindrops because all of the students seemed to be in flight... all excited for or concerned with where they were headed. In a way it was kind of opposite Rain which was all about holding the moment in your hand... this play wanted, even then, to be about coming to terms with being between moments, between where we're going and where we've been. Perhaps that's even the better title for the play...
Looking forward to more and more comments and thoughts and questions and ideas. And to those voices!
into a film?.
