Any name that is not a character name from the show or crew is an audience member who is allocated a randomly generated contemporary clown alias.

The feed runs in reverse order, from the end of the show to the beginning. I have censored expletives.

Thanks again to all who came last night.

A different audience but also quite divided on similar issues as Monday night it seemed. However, whereas Monday night's conversation focused on Twitter, Tuesday's settled on the narrative events and meaning being gleaned from the text.

Both nights were exceptionally valuable and I can only reiterate how thankful I am for the investment in our process.

We begin working again tomorrow, and there will no doubt be some feisty discussion...!
