Note 27 — THE PIERROT OF THE MINUTE A DRAMATIC FANTASY IN ONE ACT By ERNEST DOWSON Performance Free
Reading edition
When the play was given in this country at the McCallum Theatre at Northampton, Massachusetts, it was "staged in black and white, the garden set having black walls on which fantastic white forms were stenciled. The bench, the statue, and Pierrot and his lady love were in white. To have tried to depict a real garden would have crowded the small stage, so a garden was suggested, and by suggestion caught the spirit of the piece."[27]
