 Background to the Poem:

• Trying to capture two diametrically opposed truths.

• One being more scholastic and the other more sensual.

• The poem is fictional with the twist presenting itself in the end when the reader is made aware of the narrators double standards.

• The idea of truth being a single egg refers to the oppression of women and the corruption of men (particularly politicians and lofty speakers) in this instance.

Actor/ Reader of Poem:

• John Redding

Why John?

• He was the ideal image of the character I wanted to be in my poem.
• He has acted in a couple of other projects before.
• He's also quite expressive when he does a speech as well as open mic nights.

Locations:

• Cossington Park Rainham
• Riverside Country Park Rainham
• The Barnyard Rainham

The Idea:

• The character is burdened with a past which had made him very power hungry, he will wear a suit top but casual clothes underneath resembling power but doesn't have it any more.

• From the scenery comes text as well as dialogue

• The background shows symbolisms of what the poem is trying to tell or represent
