Fire Extinguisher


It was really nice to see you in the introduction. Seeing you being you. Onstage. We need to find that energy more. Nervous energy. Also in the introduction I think you should say something about why we can't use the fire extinguisher. Like tonight we wanted to use a fire extinguisher but we were told it was hazardous so we can't use it. So there is this point where we use a fire extinguisher but we don't. There is something charged about the space now. There was a clothes rail in the room when we got here and it has found its way into the show. Birdies are hanging off the clothes rail with empty coat hangers. Shoes are on the floor. Ladders and microphone stands are beginning to talk to each other. There are two tables on either side. A fan. An invisible heater. A stack of chairs. A white screen. A video projector. We are waiting for Club Tropicana to show at the end. There is a fire extinguisher which we can't use standing centre stage next to the mic and Mole's brown shoes which were 20% off at Jones. Tim says 'Why do your shoes have to be there?' Mole says 'Because they have to be there. It's predictive.'
