Field Notes

  • Clinical.
  • Observant.
  • Brilliant.
  • Baffling.

Forensic anthropologist with a habit of presenting findings that are simultaneously precise and impossible to act on. The body of Arthur Roeder, in his hands, becomes a document.

Selected Statements

Scene 2

bioluminescent trace residue consistent with prolonged radium exposure. The body is essentially annotating itself. Efficient.

Scene 2

Arthur Roeder, factory manager according to the wallet in the vehicle, driver's license, library card, a coupon for a pretzel. A coupon for a pretzel? Expired. He almost made it. Also, he is clutching a script.

Scene 2

Radium Girls, handwritten margin notes. Not his handwriting. Whoever was meant to play him had been learning the part. They were close. Notes through act two, scene three.
