Mark is interrupted by a woman (Suzanne Ahmet) who looks disturbed and like the Ancient Mariner she closes down his story in order to tell her own version of the truth.  She tells us that she is an actor and came to London, founds digs and met Sandy, an acting coach with whom she was romantically involved.  She is insistent and tense as she recalls the events she must describe. 

She auditions for a play and gets the part but the critics code I must obey, forbids any spoilers.  Mark has told us how this building is wearing out, the leaking roof which could start a fire in the old electrical wiring, that the lighting board is ancient and could suddenly plunge us into darkness. 

Suzanne graphically describes a para-normal experience occurring in rehearsals for the play her theatre group are working on in the run down house in Kilburn.  You could hear a pin drop in the room as we earnestly listen and reflect on her words.  She shows us a drawing of a woman and a child in a Victorian dress and tells how the director insists that she wear a dress, too big for her, that his sister wore.  Her acting coach Sandy has told her that as an actor she will be working towards a life that will almost certainly be troubled.
