Trivia

At the beginning of the show (as seen on the DVD), Eddie arrives on stage through a huge book which opens to reveal him sitting at the top of a staircase. The backdrop then closes and from then on the background changes at various intervals with words from selected literature projected onto the pages of the huge book. A close look reveals that every "the" has been replaced with "definite article". The chosen selections are:

A Marriage Proposal (a.k.a. The Proposal) - Anton Chekhov

Jabberwocky - Lewis Carroll

Macbeth - Shakespeare

Mayor of Casterbridge - Thomas Hardy

Edward II - Christopher MarloweFurther Information
