Rogues, a Heist Report: there’s not much news while scripts are in the wild. So, I thought maybe I’d give you The River.
In “Rogue Bazaar,” I got my feet wet trying to emulate all of the different conversations that happen totally independent of the storyline in a crowd. Symphony wanders by someone singing, a small crowd applauding, and right then I just liked how “real” it made this fantasy feel.
As I’m putting together the next season, I’m trying to create some similar moments.
“The River” is meant to be heard in passing, somewhere far in the background. It is about a grief-stricken cyng, whose queen — styled cwen in The Thief — was lost at sea. The cyng fills his pockets with stones and wades into the river, called Andaruine.
Once proud, the cyng, and now undone,
for their queen, a memory, was lost and gone.
And pockets laden with heavy stones
he gave in, gave all to the river's flow
where their love entwined in the depths below.Where their love entwined in the depths below.
