Scene

This is a one act play with six scenes.

Staging

Taken from the opening stage directions:

The living room of a small suburban apartment, carefully arranged, revealing a feminine hand.  Comfortable.  Intimate.  Three doors in addition to the entrance.  One, to the bedroom; one to the bathroom; the third to the kitchen.

One window.

A canary in a cage.

Somewhere, a easel with a half-finished painting.  A box of oils.

Also, straw figures: fish, heads of animals, roosters, etc.
