On The Verge

One idea for a promotional poster for this play I have would be an island that looks like a city during the 1950’s in America. It would make sense because of how the play starts out with them exploring supposedly “terra incognita”. The fact that it is actually a time warp and they end up in 1955 would also be covered by this poster. The tagline I would use for this poster be as follows; “Terra Incognita: Embrace the Future!”. The land they are exploring is repeatedly called “terra incognita” in the play. The meaning of terra incognita is “unknown land”. Even though they are charting through unknown time other than unknown land the term would still apply. The second part of the tag line is in homage to Alex saying “Embrace the Future!” throughout the play. It makes sense as a tagline because that is exactly what these ladies do during the play.

As for the question of whom this character Mr. Coffee is supposed to be. I can only guess that he is supposed to be a deity of some kind. I would assume he is supposed to represent God. His knowledge of both the past and future definitely gives the suspicion that he is a supernatural being of some sort.
