Sound Cues

Mole says 'We stopped for a moment and watched the planes take off' but when he gets to moment a plane flies overhead and he pauses. 'We stopped for a moment... [plane flies overhead] and watched the planes take off.' Perhaps the show should only tour to venues beneath busy flight paths. Later on Tim is on the floor and Mole says 'What can you hear? Or what can't you hear?' and the clock on the Council House at the Old Market Square starts to strike 12. Sirens and cars slip into the piece all the time. I've been thinking about how if we make mistakes then the sound check will mean making sure the sound doesn't work instead of making sure that it does. The sound cue is to miss the sound cue. At the moment the soundtrack to the piece is the sounds outside the space. Aeroplanes and town hall bells are our accidental sound cues.
