.....even though via the internal cavities of someone who may or may not have wanted "yesterday's news" stuffed inside her/himself!
Was it the Aeschylus wot killed him, or he who killed the Aeschylus? Was he Aeschylus' harshest critic or greatest fan? Or was it just a pile of old papers collected specifically for the purpose?
Was it the drama critic's equivalent of using the script for toilet paper, or was it an organic time capsule?
so many questions....
For me, this is spine-tinglingly amazing. I would love to see the play, too.
