Flightplan

12.20pm

We decide to synchronise watches. We find out it is bad luck to wear a watch onstage. There is a flightplan on a white board. From time check to time zones via 20 points of arrival and departure. In a red pen after I accidentally used a black permanent marker. It starts 'Making the Pilots - The Beginning?' and down the side it reads 'This is not sacred.' This took 30 minutes. I think we have started to find rules, the logic and the language. This is page one. Mole asks Tim to find a way to articulate this flightplan. Mole is filming. Tim is standing next to the white board. Thinking. Mole says 'Whenever you're ready Tim.'

Tim turns on his mobile phone. I think he is sending a text. He puts his phone on the window sill. He walks to the corner. He looks at the control room. The cockpit. He starts to sweep away sunglasses to make a runway downstage. He stops at taped lines on the dance floor. He looks out of the window. He checks his mobile phone. He looks at me. He walks down the runway. He looks at the white board. He checks his mobile phone. He puts his hands in his pocket. He looks at the audience. Timer goes off. He walks to the front. He says 'Hello we have now started the show.'
