The Visit And The Play

The Visit And The Play

Synopsis

"A playful and dark conversational study. I am wrapping prose poetry into the recognizable conversational form and allowing both connections and missed meanings. First the ladies visit, then they go to watch a play. On a television, in a snow garden. In many ways the play references the cadence of the ladies' conversation – the tedious animosity and lack of attentive or appropriate response. In the end all I want to think about lately is the art of conversation, the various directions this art takes and the ways one's receptivity to dialog changes when the subjects creating this dialog are taken out of the equation, or suggested scantily." – Stephanie Barber
