MATURE. Adults only. Every named and speaking character is an adult with an age on the page: Nell Arden 46, Sebastian Ardley 44, Darryl Nkemelu 38, Sylvia Oyelaran 58, Marguerite Sowle 54, Iris Pallant 63, Irene Masters 61, Hugh Ludlow 61, and Tomasz Arden 52. The youngest is 38. No minor appears in any role, memory, photograph, joke, announcement, plan, or future reference. Themes: a deed written in the third person about the body of the woman who wrote it. A marriage of eleven years kept in a compliance book with a rule on the flyleaf. A husband who said in a room that he had not understood a word of it, and who read all of it. A solicitor who wanted her for eleven years and said so once, in the language of a deed. Four people owed two million seven hundred and fifty thousand pounds by a house none of them has been inside. The death of a man from an aortic dissection in a warm pool room. A public reading of a private document in a conference room with a glass wall and a radiator. Sexual content: Nell and Sebastian are both adults. What each of them wants and what stops it is said out loud before anything begins, either may stop it with one word, and one of them uses the word before they start. The scene is written in full and is specific to these two people. The eleven-year marriage with Tomasz is written on the page in the past tense, in memory, at the length the register actually records, and nothing is left to the reader's imagination. It is not a reward: it costs the book the last private version of the marriage. No civic choice is gated on intimacy and no ending is unlocked by it. Death and violence: a death is described from a post-mortem report and from what was said in a kitchen afterwards. No injury is depicted and no method of injury, of drug preparation, or of entering a building is described. Prejudice appears as an assumption about a solicitor who left a firm, a family who cannot hold money, and a village that assumes things about a woman who took a name. No slur is written. Fictional firm, deed, village, people, and documents. All music is instrumental, vocal playback is disabled, and lyrics are empty. No media is generated, fetched, or bundled with this project.
