Level 1: Asylums are scary because there's crazy people there.

ANNE CARSON: The Hot Ones could be the name of a tragedy. Imagine that chorus. Chewing on spiced wings so their tears streamed down the masks and fell to the ground. If a tragic actor was crying from eating hot wings how would you know? The mask doesn't tell you. Only if he cried OTOTOTOI POPOI DA but that is his text. No dividing what is pain from what is pain. According to Aulus Gellius, the actor Polus used the urn that held his son's bones and ashes onstage. He was using grief to play grief. It does away with the problem of feigning. You can't feign spice either. Either your eyes water and you retch or you don't.
