I am in the process of working on Bound - a new poetic monologue in the manner of Crash - and have made a recording of a draft version of the piece.

As it is intended to be staged, I need you to imagine an almost bare stage apart from a desk and chair facing the audience. On the desk is a notebook and pen, and a laptop computer. The whole is not particularly well-lit.

Assume the speaker is sitting at the desk at the opening of the piece (though he is likely to move around during it).

I would be interested to know what you think…

Thanks for listening.
