Playwright’s Note:
This play looks at dissociative disorder, and its structure and tone parallel the symptomology: Jolts of emotion are dropped into the narrative without the customary or "normal" build-up, and are frequently jettisoned equally as abruptly; emotional climaxes are interrupted or left half-resolved; sentiment is often avoided in favor of detachment or avoidance. It is advised that serious thought be given before efforts are made to directorially "smooth over" these apparent rough spots.
