A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR (an excerpt from the play)
But before she starts, a word to the wise:
Not a trigger warning, exactly, but
A proviso: it’s not my tale. I just
Copied it down from the original.
I could make stuff up and rewrite it all
But that would surely defeat the purpose,
And if Alvita does make you nervous
It’s worth remembering – though I’m sure you know –
When wives spoke thus four hundred years ago
You were all shocked then. The shock never ends
When women say things usually said by men . . .
And one last thing: if you spot yourself and
Think I’ve made you posher or more common
Than you’d like: sorry. I’ve got a good ear,
But I can only write down what I hear . . .
