Nothing

Mole says he wants to write a book. A little book about nothing. I've realised a lot of the work we do is about nothing. The text at the end of The Pilots is about nothing. 'What are you doing? Nothing.' Busy doing nothing. Nothing the whole day through. We talk about Beckett and how he said Waiting for Godot was a play where 'Nothing happens... Twice.' We talk about non-events and anti-climaxes and how nothing happens in The Pilots. Mole's performance lecture was about nothing happening. We ask what happens in a show where nothing happens? I don't know what happens. Maybe nothing happens... Once.
