or how to Wendy Cope™
when the world is totally squeezed

The Orange, Wendy Cope
At lunchtime I bought a huge orange—
The size of it made us all laugh.
I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Dave—
They got quarters and I had a half.
And that orange, it made me so happy,
As ordinary things often do
Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park. This is peace and contentment. It’s new.
The rest of the day was quite easy.
I did all the jobs on my list
And enjoyed them and had some time over.
I love you. I’m glad I exist.

Mission Statement: Hypothesis Theatre Company is invested in exploring modern negotiations of identity by creating a highly mediated clusterfuck that QUEERS the audience relationship. We aim to ask questions within a nonlinear structure that incorporates vocabularies of movement, poetry, and bizarre rehashings of every single piece of media we've seen in our entire lives.
Mumsy, Get My Pan!
