In reply to fiction ... Hungry Pavement, Part 2, posted by Atticus on August 27, 2004, at 11:42:51
I envision "Hungry Pavement" as a play (I would have the grandest time designing the set.) I have to think about the mechanics of this and will get back to you :P The dialog would be easy enough to incorporate but I also have to think about the narrator's piece which would be indispensable. I've always wanted to be involved with theater. I love seeing a play in winter when you have to scurry along on snowy sidewalks, freezing, and then entering the warm playhouse and the theater itself. Then there are all these people together, not like in a movie theater, being transported by a live show. The smells of different women's perfumes blending together, thinking of the actors backstage and what they might be doing, the anticipation as the curtain rises, the feeling of witnessing a slice of life from a secret vantage point, how scenery is changed with perfect choreography by black clad stage hands. Oh, I wish it were a snowy winter night and I was going to the theater to see "Hungry Pavement".
This piece has a "Luigi Pirandello" flavor that is quite yummy.
