Barker: “Welcome one and welcome all
Into this wondrous tent, this tent of wonders
As in, ‘I wonders
What you’re all doing here!’
Haha!
I jest! We all know
Why we’re here, don’t we?
You’re here to see
The Mirrored Man
And I –
I am here
To show him to you!
Thankyou, thankyou.
And here… he… is!”
[ENTER The Mirrored Man]
(Hushed murmuring)
TMM: I am
The Mirrored Man
Look to me
And
It is yourself
You find!
Heckler: I find a man in fancy longjohns!
TMM: I am
The Mirrored Man
Look to me doubtfully
And doubt will you find!
Child: I can see you, Daddy!
Barker: Behold! The father in the son!
Heckler: I want my dime back!
TMM: Look to me with greed
Greed you’ll find.
Heckler: I’m fit to look to you with my fist.
Barker: Ho, now, friend, that’d be seven years bad luck for you!
TMM: Look to me with anger…
Heckler: Yeah, yeah.
[EXIT Heckler]
Ringer: Well I think he’s just… just beautiful.
(Murmured agreement)
Nice narrative. I like how the Mirrored Man looks beautiful to the ringer after encountering the heckler.

A great narrative… I can actually see it performed… a mirrored man would indeed be safe, sever years of bad luck is not worth the risk
