Derived from various appearances and utterances of the minor Shakespearian role of Page, our use of text is sparse, almost incidental, removed from any specific context. Extending the pun of Page on [page]. We have retained the typographic conventions for the play. Printed in Garamond on a Vandercook SP15 during 2020 lockdown when theatres were ‘dark’ and movements curtailed, on off-cut papers from our plan-chests (Cyclus, Fabriano, Fabriano Watercolour, Maureen’s unmarked, Rives BFK, unmarked lower drawer, Watman, Zenyu, Somerset).
One hundred pages in the present time, enter when birds do sing, exeunt all, hey ding a ding.
