Reading the play: notes from Gini in July 01

I have finished the script, mostly as is - cuts and changes to follow. 
It is 98 pages long. . . .

I do like the idea Gilles is descending into madness. Perhaps he is  re-living all this right at the end of his life. It feels very dark -  like a dank castle or cell. But I also feel that the dark of the woods 
is very important. Gilles is actually the only "real" person in the play. I think everyone else, his play or not, is in his head. With the possible exception of the moment of Jehanne actually being conjured, 
but that could also be in his head... The illusion of flames is very important- projections? scrims? . . . .
