Trivia[]

At the beginning of the show, Eddie arrives on stage through a huge book which opens to reveal her sitting at the top of a staircase. The backdrop then closes and from then on the background changes at various intervals with words from selected literature projected onto the pages of the huge book. The chosen selections are:

• A Marriage Proposal (a.k.a. The Proposal) - Anton Chekhov
• Jabberwocky - Lewis Carroll
• Macbeth - Shakespeare
• Mayor of Casterbridge - Thomas Hardy
• Edward II - Christopher Marlowe
