A few old benches are crowded together in the center. On the upstage wall is a round clock, the numbers, roman numerals, barely visible through the round crystal face, have delicate green vines climbing up them, twining around them. The time says 11:55 through most of the play. Upstage under the clock is a door to the train platform, with two old wooden chairs beneath. To the side is a cart for a vendor that offers newspapers, coffee, and various treats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt Rise: \u003c\/strong\u003e Merle sits doing a crossword puzzle behind the vendor cart, which is overflowing with various paraphernalia such as newspapers, souvenir hats, a carafe of coffee, various treats, and dust.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Time Being Media, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47967504760983,"sku":"9781953725851","price":942.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781953725851.webp?v=1782914590","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/at-the-still-point-9781953725851","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
