"...Suicide and the contemplation of death. Don't think of it as being dead, a cessation of life. It is not a contemplation of being anything. The mind wanders over people once known, perhaps loved. What they will do when the news of your death reaches them. Take this one step further..." - M.F. Perrin. An Ebbing of Curiosity is an original script developed for the stage by The Working Theatre under the direction of Nicola Perrin. The text has been derived mostly from the correspondence and writing of Margaret Stratton and Michael F. Perrin.
