The Lies We Agree On
“Marriage is a mutual non-aggression pact about statistics.”
One line from this set
This one is written to be read as it stands. No blanks, no homework — the names are general on purpose, so it works the first time you open it.
What you get
- The full set, in a web page you can read on a phone, and as a Word file, plain text or Markdown.
- A short note on how to use it — where the pauses are and which line is the ending.
- A licence to perform it. It stays yours; nothing expires.
Straight answers
- Is this the whole thing, or a sample?
- The whole thing. “Read the opening” above shows you the first stretch free, so you can hear the voice before you decide.
- Can I change it?
- Yes. It is yours to cut, reorder and rewrite. Most people do.
- What if it is not right for me?
- Read the opening first. It is free and it is the real text — that is what it is there for.
- How do I practise it?
- Out loud, in the Stage — a room that reacts to your timing and goes quiet when you rush. Anything you own is on its shelf, free to run as often as you like.
