Hmmm...I think I have enough Air Miles. Are you putting up your invitees? A
space in the boat, maybe?
The rules remind me of a play I and others did in teacher's college. It was
about the Barnardo children who came to Canada in great numbers in the late
1800s and early 1900s. My group performed it standing in front of the class.
We all had our backs turned unless it was our turn to speak. We didn't write
the play and, sadly, I don't remember who did. It was very effective and
affecting.
Much good luck with your play, David.
Sent from my kitchen...
