Production Approach
Every audience supplies the missing dialogue differently.
Resist the temptation to illustrate every emotion. This is not a story about what is said. It is a story about what is finally allowed.
The park is not symbolic. It is simply where two people finally stop performing.
Every pause matters. Nothing should be rushed.
The audience will write the dialogue themselves.
