Notes on the text
The text that you read here is, to all intents and purposes, exactlythe same text that you would at a performance of the work. Thereis only one difference; in
The Journey Here
, the delivery from thewords “this baby...” is stated in full once, then repeated but withcertain words either not said or moved from their originalsequence. How the text is scrambled varies betweenperformances.The narrative contains many threads, and at present it has notbeen possible to annotate the text and explain all of the references.However, the resources mentioned in the
Further Searching
section should give you enough information.
