Indiana Jones Adventures

or, Research

The perfect piece of research does exist. It is in a book, in a library, on a shelf. You just have to get there before anyone else, find the book and check it out.

Checking Out gives us a lot of instructions about the things of the play in the stage directions. You can follow those, or not. But there is one clue about the set baked into the first scene. I guess you could ignore that, too. But, really you should at least see what he meant.

Childe Hassam’s New York studio.

If you are like me, you may never have heard of Childe Hassam before. Maybe, like me you haven’t heard of any of those painters.

So, starting from that beautiful know-nothing place, you can go on a research adventure like I do.

In an ideal world, you can go to an enormous art library (in ideal worlds all libraries have enormous windows and enormous tables and little lights and chandeliers - Indiana Jones-esque) to show a human that page of the script.
