Birth, and copulation, and death.
That's all the facts when you come to brass tacks.
Birth, and copulation, and death.
- T.S. Eliot "Sweeney Agonistes"
When I began rehearsing this play, the three leading ladies were Helmut Newton style fashion models. Midway - that image lost its resonance, and they turned into disheveled would-be ballerinas. Many other things changed. What never changed was the impulse to see performers drifting against a web of music and language - with aphoristic phrases overlapping - telling the truth - but contaminated with fantasy and desire, as is always the case.
- Richard Foreman
...the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
-T.S. Eliot "Little Gidding"
