In front of it, a small coffee table.  To one side a small couch to the other a small chair.  A sideboard with side cabinets is to the left.  Near it a table.  To the right is a dark area with a chair where the GRANDMOTHER remains throughout.Ellen is about the  room puffing pillows, fixing things.  On the sideboard is a birthday cake and a present. Ellen finishes  the wrapping on a package as She looks in the side board drawer for a box of candles she calls:ELLEN: Where are those candles?Rose, Rose.I know I put them in here somewhere.Yo, Rose!ROSE: (In the hall at the door.) Just a minute I can't hear you.

  6. A script will tell you • the allocation of lines to characters • • the inclusion of stage directions • • advice to actors on delivery of lines Scene 1 THE SET: A large worn armchair center stage. In front of it, a small coffee table.  To one side a small couch to the other a small chair.  A sideboard with side cabinets is to the left.  Near it a table.  To the right is a dark area with a chair where the GRANDMOTHER remains throughout.Ellen is about the  room puffing pillows, fixing things.  On the sideboard is a birthday cake and a present. Ellen finishes  the wrapping on a package as She looks in the side board drawer for a box of candles she calls:ELLEN: Where are those candles?Rose, Rose.I know I put them in here somewhere.(yells) Yo, Rose!ROSE:(In the hall at the door .) Just a minute I can't hear you.

  7. The script can give you ideas on the use of theatre arts to enhance the action ROSE: Sometimes I wish I were. It may be a lot easier. (Rose stops searching for the candles in the sideboard. All lights dim.  Rose is lit in a single beam. This is a private thought.)A lot easier to be deaf.Deaf to everything in this houseDeaf as the walls. Hard like the walls.Dark like the closets.  A little girl behind the coats and dresses smelling of camphor and smoke and drink.Curled into my knees tight under my chin; buried;  my hands between my legs.Hiding from the shouts, hiding from the fights, hiding from the men, from the slaps, hearing her scream, hearing her cry.   Afraid to be found.  Afraid of the light when she opened the door.  Afraid of her kisses, of their kisses.  The sour smell from dragging  lips.  The gin smelly air fogged with meaningless words mumbled and twisted and slurred. (The Lights return to normal full stage)
