Daughter & Madison’s Conversation

We know it is in the rulebook of movie making that having to resort to the text to be understood is a failure of the “show me” ethic.

Be that as it may, we offer a link to the script of the Act Two exchange between Daughter and Madison in recognition that their conversation is dense.  Brilliantly embodied in nuanced performances by our actors so that the characters are given every chance to be understood, still Daughter and Madison are of the same tribe, folk who love writing and get carried away with talk of writing and the meaning it carries.  Consequently their dialog moves quickly and spins off literary references in rapid succession.

And since we have received comments along the lines of “I wish I could read what they say to one another,” we decided, why not?  Ours a recognition that this story floats in a multiplex expressive space, one facet of which is the gap between the literary and the cinematic.

That tower? Emptied.
