Girl 1 comes on stage and yaks about sunset, Jackman comes on stage looking for aome fishing equipment and ignores said sunset. Apologies for ignoring sunset and better get fishing at night for special sea trout that run at night. Next scene, Jackman calling police because she is missing (sounds like a good murder brewing--no such luck). She arrives with big fish and big fish story how she met someone up River and helped her catch big fish (she is actually accomplished fisheeman). Yak yak yak, guy prepares fish on stage while girl showers. Fish ready and each have the tiniest piece and proclaim it's the best fish EVER and don't eat anmore. Yak yak yak about sea trout life. Yak yak yak about afternoon sex and him looking away. Yak yak yak abut how he loves her and never brings any girls here, she is special Then tells her to find childhood stone under bed. Pretty stone, how what about that picture under the bed with the girls face scratched out and red dress in closet. Fade black

Girl2 in red dress yak yak yak about their failed relationship, hey what about the girl in picture with face scratched out. Fade black

Girl 3 shows up and short scene

is girl 3 the one in picture or are,there others--who cares. So he brings them to the cabin and had them find the picture as a way to of breakup with them. I guess that is more original than a text message. But no spooky mystery, no murder

As you can tell, I found the show a complete bore. There has been very little discussed about the play on this board. I'm curious what others thought and what the meaning is--apparently I missed the point of the play.
