The Duck Variations

This much we do know. As long as the duck exists, he will battle day and night, sick and well with the Heron, for so it is writ. And as long as the sky is made dark with the wing of the Monster Bird, the heron will feast on duck. (also, they got barnyard ducks).*

Well, in dealing with realities (and, ah, rights issues of course), it's starting to occur that Exercises in Style might not be the most practical to stage (which isn't to say it won't be lovely if we do, more that we're keeping our options open).

To me it seems that a wonderful choice to keep open would be The Duck Variations by David Mamet (since we're still talking about variations and repetition and of course there's the whole bird thing!).

We'll see won't we?

All The Best,
