GB >>> Clearly a visual piece that needs to be seen. From what I read, 
it seems like a beginning and a middle,but there is no end. What is the 
resolution of your idea. I realize that there may be no resolution for 
your character, but what brings the piece to an end? If the lights 
fade, why then and not on the previous line or the one after...
--------------------------------
Greg, Yah, I'm still thinking about that but so far...
The piece will end with the curtain coming down and the noise pretty 
loud and continuous, the puppeteer will be yelling. I wish I had a 
stronger voice.  At the beginning the machine will start up before the 
curtain goes up. I guess it's an ongoing thing, not a narrative but 
more a never-ending idea.

So, it will end with the curtain coming down, the noise and yelling 
stops. Weak maybe, but I hope it will be carried by the confidence of 
the rest of the piece.

The stage is a 40 inch frame with a curtain, nothing will be masked off 
below or on the sides. The audience will be able to see everything 
that's going on behind the stage, no scrim.

thanks,
Ed
