Brian Friel Plays 1 (2013)
“The set is empty except for the single chair across which lies Frank’s coat exactly as he left it in Part One.
We discover FRANK standing down stage left, where we left him.
In this final section FRANK is slightly less aloof, not quite as detached as in Part One. To describe him now as agitated would be a gross exaggeration. But there should be tenuous evidence of a slightly heightened pulse-rate, of something approximating to excitement in him, perhaps in the way his mind leaps without... apparent connection from thought to thought; and his physical movements are just a shade sharper.
FRANK: (Eyes shut) Aberarder, Kinlochbervie,Aberayron, Kinlochbervie, Invergordon, Kinlochbervie … in Sutherland,in the north of Scotland …(He opens his eyes. A very brief pause. Then recovering quickly) But I’ve told you all that, haven’t I? – how we were holidaying in Kinlochbervie when I got word that my mother had died?MoreLess
