chatham, massachusetts
birth one birth one birth one
in this haunted cottage by the sea
birth one birth one birth one
be careful what you sniff for

birth one birth one birth one
for tragedy is rarely better seen than heard,

birth one birth one birth one
especially in your own backyard.


For this tragi-dream-epic, we resurrected the G.I. Joe figures that my husband Larry used when he made his animated version of "Jaws" at age 12. Aside from a few rusty joints, their capacity for performance excellence was still intact, proving there not only are small actors, but small parts as well. Also featured: our dog Joe; his look-a-like animatronic; an antique doll suffering from a degenerative surface condition, exacerbated by the salt air; a seagull wing; a newly acquired one room beachhouse; and my father-in-law's model sailboat.
Status of production: principal actors still trying to "get the sand out."
