Context, Song Styles, and PS
Context:
“Dear Playwright:
On behalf of the Artistic Committee’s playreading judges, we would like to thank you for submitting your full-length play to our annual contest. Unfortunately…”
Song Styles:
And the fear goes on…shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing
Under his nose was a dream come true
Been there all the time and he almost knew
Thoughts of people in misfortune stopped him doing things well
His duty was to use it – left his pearl in the shell
And the fear goes on…shadows
And the tear flows on…
And on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on…
–Howard Jones, “Pearl in The Shell”
PS:
“Dear Playwright.” Not even “Mr. Varkentine.”
