DICKENS (CONT’D)
Ladies and gentleman may we welcome
our newcomer, Miss Ellen who is
helping us in our hour of need.
(to NELLY)
We wish your sister Frances well.
Is it the Haymarket or Phoenix we
have lost her to?
NELLY:
The Haymarket. She is so sad not to
be here.
MRS TERNAN:
But Nelly will give you a wonderful
performance-
DICKENS:
I have no doubt.
DICKENS smiles, the MEMBERS of the company on the approach,
welcoming. DICKENS, in a spiral of energy, enthusiastically
enjoying the performance of these introductions-
DICKENS (CONT’D)
Now Maria, Mrs Ternan you know
everyone from our previous
rehearsals..
