"The text is divided into scenes they are not as they appear at first glance to be poems - it is dialogue - a dialogue with the self. The Punctuation is intentional as is the layout. Each word, works as a sentence in its own right when there are more than one words in a line it is a symphony of ideas."
A number of years ago a friend brought me a copy of “By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept” by Canadian Author Elizabeth Smart – it fascinated me – my friend thought it could be a musical or a play ? – I stared at it again and again loves it and wondered how it had been written and how could it be staged. I did not find a way but slowly discovered my own voice – and now I think this is an answer – Elizabeth Smarts’ book is not for staging but I hope this text finds the same resonances and takes its audience on a similar journey into the heart in a theatrical language
